Chara hits 600-point mark for his career

Zdeno Chara has hit the 600-point plateau.

The beastly Boston Bruins defender hit the milestone by picking up the primary assist on Patrice Bergeron's first-period marker against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night.

For Chara, his 600 points are good enough for the fourth-highest mark by any defenseman since he entered the league during the 1997-98 season.

The 40-year-old also sits third on the Bruins' all-time defenseman points list behind only Ray Bourque and Bobby Orr - not bad company.
