Tuukka Rask could miss extended time after being diagnosed with concussion

The Boston Bruins lost more than just a game on Tuesday.

During their 3-0 loss to the Columbus Jackets, goalie Tuukka Rask left the game after getting elbowed by Emil Bemstrom just over a minute into the game.

It’s safe to say Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy was not happy about the irresponsible play by the Blue Jackets forward, but chose to take the high road when talking to reporters following the game.

“It was an elbow to the head. It’s a penalty is what it is, so you have to move on,” said Cassidy.

“It’s just unfortunate that it happens to your No. 1. It was pretty clear to me.”

To add insult to injury, the team has confirmed that their no.1 goaltender did indeed suffer a concussion during the play. It remains unclear how long he will be sidelined.

Rask has posted a 17-4-6 record, 2.27 goals-against average, 92,5 save percentage and two shutouts in 28 games this season.
