NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Boston goaltender Tuukka Rask has gone to the locker room after taking a slap shot near his right jaw and neck.
The Predators had just killed a penalty when Nashville defenseman Roman Josi shot the puck, which appeared to hit the All-Star goalie at the edge of his mask at 12:49 of the first period Thursday night.
The goalie immediately fell to the ice, shook off the glove on his stick hand and pulled off his mask. After a couple of minutes, he skated to the bench and went directly to the locker room. He was replaced by Zane McIntyre.
Rask was just named to his first All-Star Game on Tuesday with a 21-9-3 record this season.
