Zdeno Chara: Expected Out Minimum 4-6 Weeks

Chara is dealing with a knee ligament injury and is expected to miss at least four-to-six weeks, Aaron Ward of TSN reports.

Analysis:

It's yet to be determined whether he'll need to undergo surgery, which could sideline him for even longer. The Bruins have been off to a slow start this season, and losing their captain for an extended period of time just when they seemed to be turning the corner won't help. The team will probably add a defenseman from the AHL before Saturday's game.
