The Boston Bruins fell 5-1 to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday, but the biggest loss may have come between the pipes.
Midway through the second period, Bruins netminder Tuukka Rask pulled himself from the game, citing vision problems. Backup Zane McIntyre came into the game in relief, allowing three goals on 14 shots as Boston posted its fourth-straight loss.
Following the game, Rask confirmed he suffered a migraine and was unable to continue playing. Its a familiar ailment for the Finnish goaltender, who experienced a similar case in March 2015.
The Bruins return to the ice Tuesday versus the Detroit Red Wings, however, it is not yet known if Rask will be in the lineup. Rask has appeared in 39 games this season, posting a 22-12-4 record and a .920 save percentage.
