Tuukka Rask once again is showing the importance of quick reflexes.
The Boston Bruins goaltender saved 29 shots Thursday night in his team’s 4-3 season-opening victory over the Nashville Predators, but his stops early in the second period on Craig’s Smith’s shots might have been the most important of the bunch.
Nashville was on a power play with the score tied 1-1 when Smith seemed certain to score from point-blank range. But Rask had other ideas, denying the Predators forward twice in quick succession.
