BOSTON -- Wins are a lot tougher to come by when you dont have a Vezina Trophy winner between the pipes. Tank Carradine Jersey .Thats the case for the Boston Bruins right now.Bostons No. 1 goalie,?Tuukka Rask, is listed as day-to-day with an undisclosed injury that he suffered in a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils last Thursday in the Bruins home opener. Its the first time in his career that Rask has suffered any type of serious injury, and his status remains uncertain. Backup Anton Khudobin was felled by an upper-body injury during Mondays practice and will be sidelined at least three weeks.With both goalies hurt, the Bruins are in a bind. Coach Claude Julien had no choice other than to go with inexperience in goal against the?Minnesota Wild?on Tuesday and it resulted in a 5-0 loss to the Wild at TD Garden. Rookies?Malcolm Subban and Zane McIntyre?both played.To be fair: Bostons goaltending wasnt the only reason for the blowout loss. The Bruins had too many defensive breakdowns and zero offensive punch. Thats not a recipe for success. It shouldnt matter which goalie is playing, captain Zdeno Chara?said.Injuries are a part of the game, but we should really respect the way we play and what we want to accomplish and how we want to play, Chara said. If were not going to do that, it doesnt really matter who is in net. Its really up to us as players to make sure we play in the right way on the right side of the puck. If we do that, were going to make the game much better for us.The Bruins cant afford to fall too far behind in the standings this early in the season. So what will Boston general manager?Don Sweeney do if Rask is sidelined long-term? After Tuesdays loss, Julien said he did not have an update on the 29-year-old veteran. Both Subban and McIntyre were preparing to travel with the team to New York to face the Rangers on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.Subbans only previous NHL experience was a start in St. Louis on Feb. 20, 2015, when he allowed three goals on six shots before he was pulled after 31:15 of ice time in a 5-1 loss. On Tuesday, in his second NHL game, he allowed three goals on 16 shots before he was pulled after 26:31 of ice time and replaced by McIntyre, who had been called up from Providence earlier in the day.Yeah, it sucks, Subban said. Obviously, Im just trying to finish the game, let alone win one. It sucks, but what can you do now, right?Subban, 22, hasnt been the same since he suffered a fractured larynx during a minor league game last February. The injury ended his season with Providence. Before being struck in the throat by a puck in Portland, Maine, Subban had won 9 of 11 games and allowed only 21 goals during that span. Overall, he was 14-8-5 with a .911 save percentage in 27 games for Providence during 2015-16.At the time of his recall on Monday, he was 0-3-1 with a 4.50 goals-against average in four games for the Bruins AHL affiliate this season.The road has always seemed blocked for Subban, who was a first-round selection (No. 24 overall) in 2012 by the Bruins. It doesnt help his cause that Rask is the No. 1 goalie in Boston and is in the fourth year of an eight-year contract worth $56 million.I want to be a No. 1 goaltender in the league. I was a high pick for a reason. I have the potential, I just have to show it, Subban said. I havent done that so far yet, but I think Im getting closer to it. I think I can do it right now and obviously I didnt do it [Tuesday], but tomorrows a new day.While Subban was having success statistically in the AHL -- having a winning record in each of his three full seasons in Providence -- some hockey personnel wondered if his game would translate to the next level. Some question his consistency.I dont like the structure of his game, one Eastern Conference evaluator said. He seems like a guy who could fall apart when hes not on his game.From a defensive standpoint, Subban got little help. With the exception of?Brandon Carlo,?Bostons defensemen have struggled. Will McIntyre fare any better? The Bruins are about to find out. He will make his first NHL start on Wednesday.With Rask in net, the Bruins know theyre getting a calm, reliable performance. Without its No. 1, it looks like Boston is in for a struggle. Daniel Kilgore Jersey .J. Ellis hit two-run homers and the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 4-0 Saturday night. Trent Taylor Jersey . While hell be dialed in to that tournament on a course he loves, you can forgive him if his eyes glance down the calendar just a bit, towards April. http://www.cheap49ersjerseyselite.com/?tag=cheap-joe-staley-jersey . LOUIS -- Roman Polak was celebrating even before Alexander Steen scored the winning goal in Saturdays 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. CONCORD, N.C. --?Alex Bowman doesnt know what 2017 has in store for him.With no solid Sprint Cup rides available -- and most of the top rides open in developmental series in need of serious sponsorship dollars -- the best Bowman might be able to hope for is to be top-of-mind when a team needs a substitute driver.If thats the case, he can thank Dale Earnhardt Jr., who recommended to Hendrick Motorsports that Bowman replace him while he recovers from a concussion. At first it was just to be a relief driver if Earnhardt needed one in July at New Hampshire, but it turned into a role where Bowman will compete in 10 races this year for Hendrick Motorsports.Bowman has one top-10 finish, and he posted his best qualifying effort Thursday, as he will start from the front row beside pole sitter Kevin Harvick. He hopes more top-10s and qualifying runs such as what he had Thursday will make a difference for his future.The Showman Bowman was fast tonight. Great job @AlexBRacing and @AxaltaRacing gang. P2 @CLTMotorSpdwy- Dale Earnhardt Jr. (@DaleJr) October 7, 2016The 23-year-old Bowman has 75 career Cup starts but mostly for underfunded teams. He had a handful of Xfinity races for JR Motorsports coming into 2016 and spent most of his time working for Chevrolet as a driver in its simulator before the call from Hendrick.We all hope that nobody needs a substitute driver, Bowman said. Its obviously a situation that nobody wants to have come up, and I dont want to sit here and say I want to take advantage of that.But it doesnt hurt my feelings if that does come up, that Im the guy that gets called.In a perfect world, Bowman said he would love to run a fourth Xfinity car for JR Motorsports next year, but unfortunately the chips didnt line up in my favor, so I dont really know whats going on.Bowman said he has tried not to think as much about the future as much to relish the opportunity.These ... races left that we have may be the rest of my Cup career, Bowman said. You never really know what the future holds. Not having anything set in stone, the one thing I said I was going to do throughout all these races was to make the most of it and to have thee most fun I possibly could. Malcolm Smith Jersey. Im not going to let the pressure kill me.In four races in the No. 88 car, Bowman hasnt done anything to hurt his reputation.Hes finished all the races, most all of them, that hes running, Harvick said. I think thats probably the biggest goal. But hes had speed everywhere hes gone and hes done a good job.But with Hendrick having signed William Byron as a development driver to be in a JR Motrosports Xfinity Series car full time in 2017, the reality for Bowman is that he isnt necessarily in the pipeline for a Hendrick ride.Hes their development guy, Bowman said. I would like to think that hopefully Im that [next] guy, but well just kind of have to wait and see. You never know what is going to happen in the next couple of years and who is going to decide to do what.For now, hell settle for that amazing feeling of driving some of the top equipment in the Sprint Cup garage. He goes to the track with a chance to run well if not win.If youre in one of the back 10 cars, youre not really almost even looked at as a race car driver sometimes, Bowman said, until you do something that youre not supposed to do. .... Nobody on the Cup side really knew who I was until I [nearly] out-qualified Dale Jr. at Richmond two years ago and he gave me a shot in his Xfinity car.I did something I wasnt supposed to do in the car that I was driving -- it opened one persons eye.Hendrick Motorsports announced four weeks ago the schedule for the rest of the season, enabling Bowman to prepare more for races.It also allowed him to get more entrenched in Hendrick, where he is splitting time with four-time Sprint Cup champion Jeff Gordon in the No. 88 car and working alongside drivers he has looked up to for much of his racing career.I get to work with basically all my childhood heroes between Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Kasey Kahne, Bowman said. I dont think [20-year-old] Chase Elliott was born when I had my childhood heroes, but hes my hero now.Its been amazing to get to work with all of them.
