Bruins’ Zdeno Chara Placed On Injured Reserve, Might Not Miss Any Games

Zdeno Chara has been placed on injured reserve — for now.

The Boston Bruins defenseman was put on IR retroactive to Sept. 24, when he suffered an upper body injury during a preseason game against the New York Rangers.

But as CSNNE’s Joe Haggerty and 98.5 The Sports Hub’s James Stewart pointed out, there’s still a chance the 38-year-old plays in Thursday’s season opener against the Winnipeg Jets at TD Garden.
