Tuukka Rask Helped Off Ice After Suffering Injury At Bruins Practice

It’s been a rough 24 hours in Boston sports.

One day after the Celtics lost Gordon Hayward, who dislocated his ankle and fractured his tibia in the team’s season-opening loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Bruins saw goaltender Tuukka Rask go down with an injury at Wednesday’s practice.

Unlike with Hayward’s injury, which likely will cost him the entire season, it’s unclear whether Rask will miss any time. The Bruins netminder needed to be helped off the ice, though, and Boston head coach Bruce Cassidy was unable to provide an update immediately after practice.

The Bruins next play Thursday night against the Vancouver Canucks at TD Garden. If Rask is unable to go, Anton Khudobin likely will get his second start of the season.
