— Aaron Ward (@TSNAaronWard) October 24, 2014 On his next-to-last shift of the game, Chara delivered a huge open ice hit to Islanders captain John Tavares (shown above). He didn't seem to be immediately shaken up as a result of the hit, but played only 40 more seconds after that collision.
The 33-year-old Chara has two goals and an assist in eight games this season for the Bruins.
