"I think the biggest motivation is to play with the group I've played with my whole career and have another chance to win," Rask said Wednesday. So I'm just trying to get back in the groove of things and play some solid hockey and then go from there."When Rask signed a professional tryout contract with the Bruins' American Hockey League affiliate in Providence on Jan. 6, he said it would take him 1-2 games to be ready to play in the NHL. He said it hadn't been a factor in his life outside of hockey and that had he not wanted to continue playing, he did not need to have surgery.As a result, Rask never considered retirement after going 15-5-2 with a 2.28 goals-against average, .913 save percentage and two shutouts in 24 games last season. I just wanted to try and come back and be helpful and maybe finish it up with a bunch of those guys who I've played with my whole career."Rask, who has played his entire 14-season NHL career for the Bruins, is 306-163-66 with a 2.27 GAA and .921 save percentage in 560 games (540 starts).
