Bruins recall Rask to replace Fernandez

BOSTON (AP) - The Boston Bruins have recalled Tuukka Rask from Providence of the AHL to replace injured goalie Manny Fernandez.

The team placed Fernandez on injured reserve on Nov. 9 with a left knee strain. There's no timetable for his return.

Fernandez hurt his knee during practice on Oct. 30. It's the same knee he injured last year with the Wild, eventually knocking him out for the season.

Rask, 20, has a 7-1 record with a 1.98 goals against average for Providence this season. A native of Finland, Rask was the 21st overall pick by Toronto in the 2005 draft and was traded to Boston in June 2006 in exchange for goalie Andrew Raycroft.

Rask was recalled by Boston between Nov. 5 and Nov. 11, but did not play.

Fernandez was acquired from Minnesota in July for forward Petr Kalus and a fourth-round draft pick. He has a 2-2 record and a 3.93 goals-against average in four games this season.
