Tuukka Rask will hold up just fine

By Gary Dzen, Boston.com Staff

Tuukka Rask admitted that the fourth goal he gave up Sunday night was his fault. He wasn’t his best vs. the Canadiens, but those games have been few and far between this season. Rask’s save percentage of .928 ranks 5th in the NHL. His goals against average of 1.97 is also 5th. Compare that to Tim Thomas, who had a save percentage of .920 and a goals against average of 2.00 in his final season in Boston. Thomas obviously carried the Bruins on their playoff run in 2011, posting a .940 save percentage, but one of the major concerns coming into this season was if Rask would be able to hold his own. So far he’s doing just fine.
