Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask's start didn't last long Tuesday night, as he was forced to leave the game just 1:12 into the first period after taking an elbow from Columbus forward Emil Bemstrom.

Boston fans will have to hold their breath until more info on Rask's condition is released, which will likely come post game. The long time Bruins goaltender is having a fantastic season, with a 2.27 goals against average to go along with a sparking .925 save percentage and a 17-4-6 record.
Thankfully for the Bruins, they have one of the stronger backups in the entire NHL with Jaroslav Halak. Halak has made 20 starts this season, compiling a 10-4-6 record along with a 2.46 goals against and a .920 save percentage. If Rask has to miss any amount of time, Boston will be forced to call up a goaltender, the most likely option being Maxime Lagace, who has previously spent some time in the NHL with the Vegas Golden Knights.
