Report: Bruins head coach hints at his goaltending decision to start the season.

The Boston Bruins have had consistent goaltending in their starting role for the past several seasons courtesy of veteran goaltender Tuukka Rask, however the backup position has been a very different story. 

It's been so bad in fact at times that the Bruins were rumored to be looking for an alternate solution during the offseason, now however it seems that one of Boston's perennial backups may be on the verge of securing the position for himself.

“[Anton Khudobin] I thought played very well in his game, said head coach Bruce Cassidy as per CSNNE's Joe Haggerty.  He had the one unfortunate goal, but I thought he was rock-solid the rest of the game. He’s in very good shape and he’s practiced well, so he’s got a leg up on the other [goalies] based on his experience.

Khubodin has two other backup goaltenders to compete with but it doesn't sound like they have a very good chance of unseating him from the position at this point.

 "That’s a good problem to have if they all push each other, but to get direct to the point Anton has done nothing to lose that backup spot.”
