The Boston Bruins got a little stronger ahead of their four-game road trip.Goaltender Tuukka Rask returned from a team-approved leave of absence to deal with a family matter and returned to practice on Tuesday. He was joined by 2015 first-round draft pick Jacob Zboril Artemi Panarin Jersey , who was recalled Tuesday. The 21-year-old defenseman could make his NHL debut against the Avalanche, and he’s feeling a mix of nerves and anticipation.“When I got the call yesterday, I started sweating right away. I got so nervous,” he told the Boston Herald on Tuesday. “Right now, after practice I’m pretty confident, and I’m excited for it.”Article continues below ...Rask, who is 4-4-0 in eight games, will likely not play against Colorado. Jaroslav Halak is scheduled to start after making 77 saves in two weekend games, both victories.Rask didn’t specify his reason for needing a leave but said his family is OK. He was thankful for the support from the team while he was tending to his family situation.“My job is to be a hockey goalie for the Boston Bruins. I also have another job title, and that’s a family man Cam Atkinson Jersey Kids ,” Rask told reporters on Tuesday. “This was a time that I felt deep inside my heart that I needed to be with my family and make things right so I could get back here and focus on my job. That took three days, I’m back here, I’m back to work, and I’m ready to battle with these guys.“At the end of the day, I realized that a hockey career is a very short career, but your life is much longer than that. I appreciate that I got the privacy at the time I needed. I’m ready to move on now.”The Bruins (10-5-2) take on a Colorado team that ended a frustrating five-game losing streak on Sunday. The Avalanche beat Edmonton after some tough losses, three of which came against division opponents. They blew a three-goal lead in Calgary on Friday and then a late 6-5 lead at Vancouver the next night.Colorado (8-6-3) has been getting strong production from its top line but has struggled to find secondary scoring. Going into Tuesday’s action winger Mikko Rantanen led the NHL with 26 points and teammate Nathan MacKinnon was third with 24. Captain Gabe Landeskog is sixth in goals with 11 (which is tied with MacKinnon.The Avalanche got a much-needed boost with the return of 20-year-old center Tyson Jost. Jost missed four games with a head injury but scored a goal in Friday’s loss at Winnipeg.“It’s great to have him back,” coach Jared Bednar told reporters over the weekend. “I thought he was skating real well. He was playing through people with and without the puck. He gets the puck on and off his tape in the scoring areas, and he was pulling the trigger on his shot real well.”The Avalanche did get forward Matt Nieto back after missing one game and right winger Sven Andrighetto is moving closer to a return from a lower body injury. He has missed five games and will most likely not play Wednesday against the Bruins. Colorado is shooting for him to return on the team’s road trip that begins in Anaheim on Sunday.While the Avalanche will roll out two of the top three scorers against Boston, the Bruins are just as formidable. David Pastrnak led the league with 16 goals before Tuesday’s games and Patrice Bergeron was second in scoring with 25 points. CALGARY http://www.bluejacketsshoponline.com/authentic-david-savard-jersey , Alberta (AP) Glen Gulutzan took the fall for the Calgary Flames‘ shortcomings this season with his dismissal Tuesday.With a year remaining on his contract as head coach, Gulutzan was fired along with assistant Dave Cameron and Paul Jerrard less than two years after they were hired.A poor home record, a wretched power play and a late-season dive contributed to Calgary finishing out of the playoffs with a 37-35-10 record.”Accountability lies with all of us,” Flames general manager Brad Treliving said at a hastily-called news conference at Scotiabank Saddledome.”As a manager I lead that charge. Our hockey staff leads that charge and also our players. When you make a decision (like) I made today, there is lots of blame to go around.”Gulutzan coached Calgary to the playoffs in his first season, but the Flames were eliminated in four straight games by the Anaheim Ducks in 2017.The additions of veteran goaltender Mike Smith and defenseman Travis Hamonic were considered to be the pieces of the puzzle that would get the Flames deeper into the playoffs.Riding a seven-game win streak and sitting second in the Pacific Division in January, the Flames lost six in a row coming out of their bye week and continued to struggle coming down the stretch.The team held down the Western Conference’s final wild-card spot Feb. 25, but managed just two victories in its final 11 games of the regular season.Smith’s performance dropped late in the season after missing a month with a lower-body injury.Top-line center Sean Monahan played through multiple injuries that required surgeries when he was shut down for the season March 21.”We relied too much on too few,” Treliving said. ”Certainly the lack of depth, or the lack of contributions by many Anthony Duclair Jersey Womens , was a big part of the problem we had.”A 17-20-4 record at the Saddledome and a power play that ranked 29th in the league at 16 percent were a factor in Calgary missing the playoffs.Gulutzan, 46, was Treliving’s first head-coaching hire.Treliving extended the contract of Gulutzan’s predecessor, Bob Hartley, in December 2014, but fired him 17 months later and brought Gulutzan on board.Hartley had a reputation for being hard on players, while Gulutzan was considered more approachable.”Personality didn’t have a whole lot to do with this decision,” Treliving said. ”I don’t necessarily think our group is a difficult group to coach. There’s challenges with every group.”By no means is today’s decision letting anyone off the hook. Ultimately you have success when your players perform well. I felt in order to get us to that level, we had to make this decision.”So the Flames will hire their fourth head coach in nine years after Gulutzan (2016-17) Hartley (2012-16) and Brent Sutter (2009-12). Calgary has finished outside the playoffs seven of the past nine years.”You can’t churn (coaches),” Treliving said. ”Having said that Womens Josh Anderson Jersey , you can’t not make a decision for the same reason. Ultimately it’s my responsibility to get it right. I really try to avoid emotional decisions.”This is not a step back from the season and a need to throw a body on the tarmac.”Assistant coach Martin Gelinas, goaltending coach Jordan Singalet and video coach Jamie Pringle remain with the team.”There won’t be any other further coaching moves at this stage,” Treliving said.Gulutzan has a 146-125-23 NHL coaching record that also includes two seasons with the Dallas Stars (2011-2013).Recently unemployed NHL coaches include Alain Vigneault, Dan Bylsma, Dave Tippett and former Flames coach Darryl Sutter.”I think having experience in this league is critical,” Treliving said.—
