"The second one I put that a little more on we didn’t return to the proper spots in d-zone," Cassidy offered. "We swung away because the original rush -- I think [Zdeno Chara] was maybe getting a penalty; I’m not sure, but they didn’t get the shot on the breakaway. So, by then you should be able to recover. You should be able to beat their guys to your slot. I think we had time to do that. We kind of turned away thinking the play was dead and was going in a different direction, so we’ll put that on the whole group.
"Yeah, it’s a savable puck [on the second goal], but that’s an area we need to protect better. And I don’t think we did a great job of that in the first period, something we’ve done really well since after Game 1."
With the loss, Rask's record dropped to 3-3-0 with a .902 save percentage on the year.
