The original due date was on Friday, and backup Chad Johnson was on call to play if necessary. That obviously didn't come to pass, and Rask wound up taking a 4-3, double-OT loss. On Saturday afternoon, though, he righted the ship and beat the Habs in Boston for the first time in 10 career attempts.
A Vezina finalist, Rask's .939 save percentage is tied for No. 1 among goaltenders still in the playoffs. Now, he'll attempt to pull off what Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury couldn't in 2013: Winning a Stanley Cup while also dealing with new-dad stuff.
Like tantrums, for example.
