Rask, Bruins Out-dueled by Varlamov and Avalanche in Monday’s Matinee
By Mike Miccoli, Boston Bruins correspondent
Chalk it up to a goaltender’s duel. Bruins’ goaltender Tuukka Rask and the Avalanche’s Semyon Varlamov put on a clinic of saves that lasted well into the third period until Colorado’s Milan Hejduk broke the score-less drought, the only goal the Avs needed for the win. In the end, it was Varlamov who picked up the shutout, and the win, stopping all of the Bruins 30 shots on net.
“We got out-worked by a team that was a lot more hungry than we were tonight,” said Julien on the Bruins’ effort. “I felt our team was second on the puck, we were losing races and whenever we got there and got into battle, they were a lot hungrier than we were.”
