BOSTON (AP) The Boston Bruins have signed backup goalie Tuukka (TOO'-kah) Rask to a two-year contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2011-12 season.
The 22-year-old Finn has appeared in nine NHL games with a 5-2-2 record and 2.43 goals-against average as Tim Thomas' backup. Rask shut out the Edmonton Oilers 2-0 in his last start on Oct. 31.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed on Thursday.
