BOSTON — The season is just two games old and there is already a bit of goaltending controversy with the Bruins.Tuukka Rask Andrew Ladd Jersey , the starter the home fans love to hate, lasted just 27 minutes in the opening game and backup Jaroslav Halak started Game 2 and shut out the Sabres in Buffalo.Immediately, there was the clamoring that seems to go along with every Rask loss. Article continues below ...On Monday, the Bruins will play their home opener, starting a three-game homestand by hosting the rebuilding Ottawa Senators, and Rask will be in goal, facing Mike Condon in the holiday matinee.“I don’t want to get embarrassed when I play again. I think that’s where I’m at right now,” Rask told NBC Sports Boston. “Get out there, get a win and feel good about yourself and build it. If you play bad or good, you flush it out and focus on the next one. Your mindset doesn’t really change there.”The Senators, who hung out their rebuilding sign by sending Erik Karlsson to the San Jose Sharks, are 1-0-1 in their first two games and are coming off a 5-3 victory over the Maple Leafs in Toronto Saturday night.In that win, young defenseman Thomas Chabot did his best Karlsson impression, scoring two goals, including the game-winner Anthony Beauvillier Jersey , and setting up the winner. Dylan DeMelo and Chris Tierney, acquired in the Karlsson package, both scored in the game.Talking about Chabot, who played 63 games for the Sens last year, coach Guy Boucher said: “You saw the offense the ceiling’s high. He’s going to become just as good defensively over time. I have so much faith in him.”The Bruins were blown out 7-0 on opening night in Washington, clearly not reacting to sitting in their dressing room while the Caps raised their banner championship banner and Alex Ovechkin skated around the ice for a final time.Near the end of that game, Lars Eller scored to make it 7-0 and Brad Marchand didn’t like the way he celebrated. So, Marchand, the next chance he got, attacked and bloodied Eller to earn an ejection.The next night, Marchand assisted on all four goals in the rebound win. That is the essence of Marchand, a fiery leader on a Boston roster that is looking to build on last year’s regular season and take the next step.The Boston roster appears to be a work in progress, with coach Bruce Cassidy inserting Sean Kuraly for David Backes on the third line and Chris Wagner for Joakim Nordstrom on the fourth for this game.After Saturday’s win, Boucher said, “The younger guys did a great job. And the older guys did a terrific job of anchoring them.”Brady Tkachuk Authentic Brock Nelson Jersey , the No. 4 pick in the last junior draft, has missed the first two games with a groin injury and the hope is he can make his debut in Boston on familiar ice. He left Boston University for the pros.“Nothing official, but I felt really good today,” Tkachuk said Sunday. “I felt as good as I have. Hopefully, I’m in (Monday).“If it does work out, it would be a pretty cool story to have my first game in front of family, friends and where I went to school and my dad’s from. Hopefully, it all works out.”Condon is from nearby Holliston, Ma. and will play at TD Garden for the first time. He beat the Bruins in a road game, but that was at Gillette Stadium in the Winter Classic, when Condon was with the Montreal Canadiens.He is 2-4 with a 2.87 ERA goals against average and .907 save percentage lifetime against Boston as he makes his first start of the season.After losing all five home games to the Senators, including playoffs, when they were eliminated by Ottawa in 2017, the Bruins swept all four games of the series last year.Rask is 11-7-4 with a 2.17 goals-against average and .925 save percentage lifetime against the Atlantic Division foe.Ryan Dzingel left Sunday’s practice, leaving him a question mark for the Senators Monday. DENVER (AP) Now that was more of the start Nashville was looking for. The finish? Not as much.Filip Forsberg scored another creative goal Casey Cizikas Jersey , Pekka Rinne rebounded from a rocky performance with 31 saves, and the Predators withstood a furious rally by the Colorado Avalanche for a 3-2 win in Game 4 on Wednesday night to take a 3-1 lead in the first-round series.”I guess probably some teams, every once in a while, can say everything is perfect. Everything is awesome,” Predators coach Peter Laviolette said. ”But most times you’re trying to work on something, trying to get better at something.”For the first time all series, the Avs were held scoreless in the opening period and the Predators built a 3-0 cushion heading into the final period.Colton Sissons and Craig Smith also scored for the Predators, who can close out the series Friday when it shifts back to Nashville for Game 5.”We don’t want it to end at all,” Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon said. ”We’re still in it. It’s not over yet.”Rinne was solid early after being pulled from the last game. Cruising along and up 3-0, the Vezina Trophy finalist allowed Gabriel Landeskog’s 5-on-3 power-play goal in the third and another on Alexander Kerfoot’s tap-in off a rebound with 8:59 remaining.Colin Wilson nearly tied with about 2 minutes left when his shot appeared to hit the post. The Avalanche pulled backup goalie Andrew Hammond late, but couldn’t get the tying goal. Tyson Jost sent a shot over the net at the buzzer.”It was a good push by them,” Forsberg said.Forsberg worked his puck-handling magic in the first period by dancing around defenseman Duncan Siemens and juking Jonathan Bernier for his third goal of the series. The ever-creative Forsberg had an artistic goal in Game 1 as well, when he sent the puck through the defenseman’s legs before scoring.”Just tried to use my speed wide and use that speed all the way around the net,” Forsberg said.Bernier allowed three goals on 26 shots before being replaced by Hammond to start the third period due to a lower body injury. Hammond had eight saves.Forsberg and his crew came out with a little more spring in their skates for Game 4. This may have played a role: The team went through an up-tempo practice the day before. It was a way to avoid a sluggish start like Monday when Colorado scored three times in the first period of Game 3.The strategy worked. Nashville controlled the tempo except for a frenzied stretch in the third.”We knew we weren’t going to go 16-0,” Forsberg said. ”We were going to lose a game throughout these playoffs and obviously we were just looking to bounce back.”Now http://www.islandersfanproshop.com/authentic-cal-clutterbuck-jersey , the Avs are looking to regroup.”I’m obviously upset at the result, but I loved our third, there’s no question,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. ”But we need to find that urgency earlier.”There was a scary moment in the second period when MacKinnon’s stick caught teammate Mikko Rantanen near the eye. Rantanen left with a towel pressed against his face, only to return a few minutes later.But not before the Predators scored another goal as Smith zoomed out of the penalty box and beat Bernier with a wrist shot to make it 3-0.From there, things turned a little testy. Landeskog hit a tumbling Ryan Johansen, who headed to the dressing room. He returned in the third period.P.K. Subban got the crowd fired up early by shooting a puck into Colorado’s net in the pregame warmups. He’s stepped into the villain’s role after delivering a blow to the side of MacKinnon’s helmet during Game 3. Subban was booed each time he touched the puck.The Predators came out firing on all cylinders, even going on an early 5-on-3 power play for 1:20. They but couldn’t get anything past Bernier, but they did knock Bernier’s mask momentarily out of commission when Viktor Arvidsson’s slap shot caught him square him in the cage. Bernier skated over to the bench to grab his backup one. He later returned to his original one.NOTES: Predators F Calle Jarnkrok returned after missing the last 16 games with an upper-body injury. … Rinne felt honored to be a finalist for the award that goes to the league’s top goaltender. ”Even though it’s an individual award, I couldn’t do it without my teammates,” he said. … Avs D Samuel Girard missed a third straight game with an upper-body injury. … Avs F Carl Soderberg took a bit hit from RW Ryan Hartman in the third that drew a charging penalty.—
