Bemstrom hit Rask just over a minute into the game and wasn't penalized.
Jaroslav Halak replaced the Boston starter, who the club later ruled out for the remainder of the contest.
Rask suffered a concussion almost a year ago to the day when teammate Charlie McAvoy knocked New York Rangers forward Filip Chytil into him on a Rangers goal back on Jan. 19, 2019.
