Zdeno Chara gets a breakaway

At times the Carolina Hurricanes can have some problems defensively. That was on display in the first period on Monday night when they somehow allowed Zdeno Chara, Boston's 6'8 defenseman, to sneak in on a breakaway.

Chara, who probably isn't used to being in such a position, wasn't able to beat Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward, but he did draw a penalty that led to a power play goal to open the scoring for the Bruins.
