Bruins' Zdeno Chara: Sustains undisclosed injury Tuesday

Chara left Tuesday's matchup against the Blues with an undisclosed injury and did not return; coach Claude Julien could not provide any updates on his status after the game.

Analysis:

Chara suffered the injury on his first shift of the second period when he took a hard hit in the corner from Jaden Schwartz. The Bruins' defense collapsed after Chara exited the game, as they allowed three straight goals en route to a loss. While the 39-year-old blueliner's offense seems to have taken a step back this season, it's hard to doubt his defensive effectiveness after seeing what unfolded Tuesday night.
