Bruins' Tuukka Rask: Beaten up by Bolts

Rask gave up five goals on 28 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Tampa Bay.

Analysis:

The Bruins actually held leads of 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 in the second period, but Rask gave up game-tying goals less than two minutes after every time his mates took the lead -- not exactly what you want to see your goalie do when you're playing a team that's just behind you for a playoff spot. Then came the third period, which saw Tampa score twice more on Rask and once into an empty net. This marks the Finnish netminder's fourth consecutive loss, and he's been tagged for 15 goals in that span. His save percentage is now down to .910, three ticks below the league average.
