Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask left the game against the Nashville Predators in the first period Thursday.
Rask was injured after taking a puck to his neck. He stopped a shot by Predators defenseman Roman Josi at 7:11, which was deflected by a Bruins defenseman before it hit Rask under his mask. Rask was looked at by the trainer before skating off the ice and heading to the locker room.
