Highlights from Rask and Marchand’s All-Star Weekend
Share
As the majority of the Bruins took some much-needed time off this weekend, Brad Marchand and Tuukka Rask left for Los Angeles to take part in the All-Star festivities for the first time in their respective careers.
It may not have ended the way they would have liked in their 3-on-3 tilt with the Metropolitan Division – especially for Rask – but who are we to judge. At the very least, Rask and Marchand can take solace in their performance in the shootout portion of the skills competition to secure an Atlantic Division win against the Metro, Central and Pacific divisions on Saturday.
On a weekend of celebrating the league’s best, which also included the full reveal of the NHL’s top 100 players of all-time, here’s a look at the highlights of Marchand and Rask’s moments from their three days in Los Angeles.
