Tuukka Rask: Sticking with Bruins’ goalie rotation ‘easier said than done’ in playoffs

Count former Bruins netminder Tuukka Rask among those curious to see Boston’s goalie rotation in action during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

For the last few seasons, the Bruins have benefited from the luxury of having two proven goalies at the ready in Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman.

A near 50/50 split in reps between both netminders under Jim Montgomery’s watch has allowed both goalies to remain fresh amid the grind of an 82-game gauntlet, while also fostering a competitive environment between the two close teammates.

Since the start of the 2022-23 season, Ullmark has appeared in 80 total games with the Bruins, while Swayman has logged 72 appearances.
