Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask won't be back in the net for at least another week.
Rask, as well as defenseman Urho Vaakanainen, was absent from Monday's practice at Warrior Ice Arena -- the team's first skate following Saturday afternoon's 2022 NHL All-Star Game.
Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy told reporters Tuesday that Rask won't practice this week. Rask has a lower body injury and hasn't played since Boston's 5-3 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Jan. 24.
