He said he’s not interested in testing the free agency market, though he declined to specify how many more seasons he might want to play, citing the unknowns of his health situation.
“I’m not going to play for anybody else than the Bruins,” Rask said.
Rask has played all 14 seasons of his NHL career for Boston after it acquired him from the Toronto Maple Leafs on June 24, 2006.
“So we got to manage my workload really well during the season, so you don’t have to play a lot of games in a row.
The reason why I missed time during the season was because I was compensating that hip injury with my other muscles and then my back seized up and I could barely walk for a week over there.
I think it was Game 5, that was a bad game I had and probably the only bad game I had in the playoffs.
He made two saves on three shots in Game 5 against the Islanders after Rask was pulled for the start the third period.
Then he wants to help Boston get back to the Stanley Cup Final, which he did in 2013, when they lost to the Chicago Blackhakws in six games, and 2019, when they lost to the St.
“I haven’t won the Cup as a playing goalie, but I feel like I’ve played good hockey and given us a chance,” Rask said.
