Tuukka Rask Steps Up as Emergency Backup for Bruins

In an unexpected twist during today's practice, the Boston Bruins turned to veteran goaltender Tuukka Rask to fill in as the emergency backup goalie (EBUG).


With the regular backup, Jeremy Swayman, sidelined due to illness, the Bruins acted swiftly, signing Rask to a one-day contract to cover the gap.


This short-term deal underscores the team's trust in Rask's experience and skills, demonstrating their adaptability in handling unforeseen circumstances. By tapping Rask as the EBUG, the Bruins showcase their collaborative spirit and readiness for any situation.
