Bruins' Zdeno Chara: Logs heavy penalty-killing time
Chara logged a team-high 4:11 of shorthanded ice time in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals.
Analysis:
Overall, Chara was out there for 23:40, logging three shots and two blocks in the process. Once a power-play mainstay for the B's, the hard-shooting blueliner saw just 10 seconds of man-advantage duty Wednesday. At the age of 39, Chara still brings shutdown ability to the table, but as long as his power play action is limited, his fantasy value will remain modest. Through 48 games, Chara has recorded four goals and 12 points to go along with 40 PIM -- well off the marks he set during his prime as an NHL All-Star regular.
