The Boston Bruins went along their offseason and working as if goalie Tuukka Rask wouldn't be back.�
There was lots of chatter that he would be back with Boston, sign with a different contender or possibly even retire after rehabbing from surgery.�
However over the last couple of weeks he's been practicing with the Bruins as an "emergency goalie" which was a pretty major hint.�
Then president Cam Neely told reporters last week that there was absolutely no talk between the two sides about a possible return, however things to have changed fast.�
Head coach Bruce Cassidy confirmed to reporters that the two sides are currently negotiating a contract and there's already a plan in place for Rask.�
The goalie will sign with the B's and get in some AHL work before getting back with the NHL club.�
The B's will now have 3 NHL goalies on their roster as their big offseason signing, Linus Ullmark has a 2.52 goals against average and .922 save percentage while the young Jeremy Swayman has looked pretty solid for a 23 year old with a 2.29 goals against average and .917 save percentage.�
Swayman will likely be the odd man out.�
