<p>The Boston Bruins dropped a home game to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.lighthousehockey.com/">New York Islanders</a> on Saturday, but lost more than just the game, as goalie, <span>Tuukka Rask</span>, went down with nasty looking knee injury.</p>
<p>Rask was helped off the ice by teammates and rumor has it he left the area in crutches. The severity of his injury is still unknown, but the Bruins have recalled goaltender, <span>Michael Hutchinson</span>, from their AHL affiliate in Providence. </p>
<p>For a closer look at Rask's injury, check out this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSzIx1Akd3c" target="_blank">YouTube Video from HockeyVideosHD</a>, and be sure to stay tuned to the <a href="http://boston.sbnation.com/2012/3/3/2842566/tuukka-rask-injury-bruins-goalie-leaves-game-with-left-leg-injury" target="_blank">Tuukka Rask injury stream</a> for all the latest updates.</p>
<p>As for the game, the Bruins fell to 38-22-3 on the season, but still hold their position as the second seed in the Eastern Conference standings. <span>Tyler Seguin</span> and <span>Milan Lucic</span> both scored their 22nd goals of the season. Rask's replacement, <span>Tim Thomas</span>, allowed two of the Islanders three goals on 13 shots against. </p>
<p>The B's next game is scheduled for Sunday, March 4, when they travel to New York to face the Islanders.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Missing five of their original twenty roster players, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/">Boston Bruins</a> will be without an entire quarter of their regulars when they limp in Madison Square Garden on Sunday afternoon for a crucial matinee tilt with the Eastern Conference-leading <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.blueshirtbanter.com/">Rangers</a>. Here’s a brief rundown of Boston’s seemingly ever-growing injury report.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Nathan Horton</span> –</b> The Bruins’ top line right winger has now missed a month and a half of action after suffering his second concussion in seven months back in mid-January. There isn’t any timetable for number eighteen’s return as speculation has run rampant through the Hub that last year’s Game 7 hero may indeed be done for the season.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Rich Peverley</span> – </b>Peter Chiarelli’s prize acquisition from the 2011 trade deadline has been sidelined since last month with an injury to the MCL in his right knee. The versatile forward is expected to return to the B’s lineup towards the end of March or early April.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Andrew Ference</span> </b>– The 5’11" blueliner is expected to miss his second consecutive game on Sunday as he sits out with what’s only being described as a "lower body injury".</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Daniel Paille</span> –</b> Boston’s gritty fourth line stalwart left Saturday’s loss to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.lighthousehockey.com/">Islanders</a> midway through the third period and appeared to be favoring his left arm. The team hasn’t given any formal update on Paille, but he will not be making the trip to New York with the team on Sunday.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Tuukka Rask</span> –</b> Leaving Saturday’s contest during the second period, Rask was reportedly seen leaving the TD Garden on crutches after the loss to New York. While the severity of Rask’s left knee injury is still unknown, the video evidence simply did not look pretty. Rask will not make the trip to Manhattan or Toronto, per head coach Claude Julien.</p>

<p>According to Joe Haggerty of CSN New England, Boston Bruins goal tender <span>Tuukka Rask</span> sustained a left leg injury during the second period of the Bruins vs. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.lighthousehockey.com/">Islanders</a> game on Saturday afternoon at TD Garden.</p>
<p>Rask had to be helped off the ice by teammates and trainers midway through the second after he awkwardly fell on his left leg while attempting to crouch into the butterfly position following on a shot by the Islanders' <span>Matt Martin</span>. Rask immediately through his gear to the side and fell to the Garden ice in pain.</p>
<p>While it's unsure what Rask did to his left leg, Haggerty opines that it could have been either a hamstring, knee or groin issue. The severity of the injury is also unknown at this point. <span>Tim Thomas</span> did have to come into the game to replace Rask in net.</p>
<p>For the Bruins, this is the wrong time to lose a goal tender to injury. With Providence starting goal tender <span>Anton Khudobin</span> (wrist) injured, they would likely have to call upon <span>Michael Hutchinson</span> or <span>Adam Courchaine</span> from the minors if Rask is seriously injured.</p>

<p>Through 40 minutes at TD Garden, the New York Islanders lead the Boston Bruins, 2-1 heading into the final intermission.</p>
<p>The most compelling news of the period was that Bruins goal keeper <span>Tuukka Rask</span> had to be helped off the ice after an apparent left leg injury midway through the period. Rask had stopped 11 of 12 shots to that point, but was replaced by <span>Tim Thomas</span> in net.</p>
<p>After the Rask injury, the Islanders would have to face an even tougher task in Tim Thomas right? Well, they didn't look intimidated at all. After <span>Adam McQuaid</span> was sent to the box for tripping, the Islanders power play unit came onto the ice looking to break the deadlocked score. Just 30 seconds in, they did just that as winger <span>Matt Moulson</span> beat Thomas for Goal No. 28 on the season. <span>John Tavares</span> and <span>Frans Nielsen</span> were credited with assists.</p>
<p>As the Bruins, they were held in check by Islanders net minder <span>Evgeni Nabokov</span>. Nabokov shut the B's out in the second period, as he's stopped 26 of 27 shots overall. Nabokov was even able to hold his own during a Bruin power play after winger <span>Kyle Okposo</span> was sent to the box after a scuffle with <span>Shawn Thornton</span>.</p>

<p>After 20 minutes at TD Garden, the Boston Bruins and the New York Islanders are tied at 1-1 heading into the first intermission.</p>
<p>The two teams took a little while to get going, but the Bruins struck first thanks to a power play opportunity. Isles center <span>Josh Bailey</span> went to the penalty box for slashing <span>Brad Marchand</span> after 13:43 which gave the B's a two-minute power play chance. <span>Milan Lucic</span> capitalized for Boston, as he delivered goal No. 22 on the year through the glove of <span>Evgeni Nabokov</span> to give the B's the 1-0 lead early. Former Islander Brian Rolston and <span>Joe Corvo</span> were credited with assists.</p>
<p>Bailey paid his debt just minutes later as he connected for an equalizing goal past the diving <span>Tuukka Rask</span> to make the score tied at 1-1. <span>Frans Nielsen</span> and <span>David Ullstrom</span> were credited with assists on the play.</p>
<p>The Bruins were one of two on the power play, as they could not capitalize on a <span>P.A. Parenteau</span> two-minute minor for slashing. The Islanders meanwhile have not yet capitalized on the power play, as they could not take advantage of a <span>Jordan Caron</span> slashing penalty or a <span>Shawn Thornton</span> roughing penalty.</p>
<p>Tuukka Rask has saved nine of 10 Islander shots for the Bruins while Evgeni Nabokov has saved 11 of 12 Bruins shots. </p>

<p>Brian Rolston and Mike Mottau will face their past as they try their luck against the New York Islanders in an effort to bring back-to-back wins to the Bruins for the first time in almost two months.</p> <p>It hasn't even been a week yet since the trade deadline, but <span>Brian Rolston</span> and <span>Mike Mottau</span> are going to have a chance to revisit some old friends from the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.lighthousehockey.com/">New York Islanders</a> today, only this time from a different perspective.</p>
<p>Peter Chiarelli made some last minute trades last Monday that brought these former Isles to Boston for little to nothing. Rolston was on waivers and Mottau was given up for future considerations.</p>
<p>As the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/">Bruins</a> take on New York in Boston this afternoon, the two former teammates from there will have the chance to prove their worth even more to the Black and Gold clubhouse.</p>
<p>Rolston has played in both games since he arrived in Boston, but only has one shot on goal and no points. But with <span>Nathan Horton</span> out, it has allowed Claude Julien to switch some other lines around, and finding an effective line--like the <span>Milan Lucic</span>, <span>David Krejci</span> and <span>Tyler Seguin</span> line.</p>
<p>Mottau has only played in one game with the Bruins, and also has a shot and just under 11 minutes of ice time.</p>
