Tuukka Rask might be nearing a return to the Boston Bruins.
The Bruins on Friday granted their goaltender a leave of absence to tend to a “personal matter.” Rask still doesn’t have a definitive timetable for a return, but Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy on Sunday did reveal when the team “suspects” Rask will rejoin the club.
Here’s what Cassidy had to say:
Cassidy on Rask:
“I suspect Tuukka will join us [on Tuesday]. That is something we will discuss with him tomorrow.”

The details of Rask’s leave of absence remain unclear. Despite that, some media personalities have taken it upon themselves to speculate in a rather inappropriate fashion.
Rask, 31, is 4-4 with a 3.05 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage through eight games this season.
