Bruins' Chara making season debut Monday vs. Lightning

Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chara is set to make his regular-season debut Monday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The 38-year-old defenseman missed the team's first two games due to an upper-body injury suffered in a collision with Ryan Bourque during a preseason game against the New York Rangers.

The Bruins are in desperate need of some defensive help, having allowed 10 goals in their opening two game of the season - both losses.
