As Rask Heads Back Down for Now, Is Manny Ready for Second Half Showcase?

It is mainly goalie news today as all of the Bruins with the exceptions of Manny Fernandez and Petteri Nokelainen were off today.

The goalie news is that Manny Fernandez will be the back-up to Tim Thomas Wednesday night in Philadelphia and not Tuukka Rask. Rask was sent back to Providence after being called up on an emergency basis.

Fernandez said that he is getting his mobility back and that his back spasms have been related to his knee injury last year. Last year when Fernandez was trying to play through the injury he was overcompensating weight on his right side, causing the issues with his back.

We'll have more tomorrow when the Bruins have a full practice before heading to Philly.
