The Boston Bruins had a strong night offensively Friday in their 3-1 win over the Florida Panthers, but they also got some crucial stops on defense thanks to Tuukka Rask.

The Boston Bruins goalie made 31 saves, including one on a point-blank shot by Jonathan Huberdeau. That earned him praise from head coach Claude Julien after the game.

"Well he was outstanding if you ask me tonight," Julien said on "Bruins Overtime Live" after Friday's game. "He made some unbelievable saves. He kept us in the game when they really pushed hard in the third period."
