Bruins' Tuukka Rask: Leaves Thursday's game with injury

Rask left Thursday's game in Nashville during the first period after taking a shot to the mask and didn't come out of the locker room for the second period, Joe Haggerty of CSN New England reports.

Analysis:

The goaltender was hit in the throat area by the puck 13 minutes into the game and was replaced by Zane McIntyre. Rask has had some rough outings in the new year, with a .902 save percentage in four games, so an injury setback is not what he needs right now. More news should come out following the game or after Friday's practice.
