Tuukka Rask stopped all 25 shots he saw in Ottawa last night to help beat down the Senators 5-0.�
The shutout was the 40 of his career, which is the second most in Boston Bruins franchise history behind Hall of Famer Tiny Thompson's 74.
Rask is now 10-0-1 in his last 11 starts and is climbing up the leaderboard among NHL goaltenders.� He is currently sixth among starters with a .923 save percentage and has the second lowest goals-against average at 2.13.�
This has been a pretty amazing run considering many were wondering if Anton Khudobin should be the starter back in November.
Rask's performance led to a lot of frustration in Ottawa, both by those in uniform on the ice and those who paid to be in the stands.�
After being one overtime goal away from the Stanley Cup Final last spring, they are now just four points ahead of the Buffalo Sabres for last place in the Eastern Conference.
One Senators fan showed his frustration by taking off his sweater and tossing it on the ice as the teams headed off.� How mad do you have to be to throw away a $250 sweater?
