Bruins grant Rask leave of absence

The Boston Bruins have granted goaltender Tuukka Rask a leave of absence relating to a personal matter, the team announced Friday.

The reason for his absence or its potential length is unknown, but general manager Don Sweeney said the matter isn't health related.

Rask has yet to find his groove in the 2018-19 season, owning a 4-4 record with a .901 save percentage.
