Canadiens' Pacioretty: 'Obviously Chara's gotten the better of me'

Kim Klement / USA TODAY Sports

It goes without saying, really; Zdeno Chara gets the better of everybody.

Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty spoke to the media Saturday, admitting that the mountainous Bruins defenseman has "gotten the better" of him in their second-round series with rival Boston. 

Held without a goal through four games, Pacioretty, who has shouldered the offensive load in Montreal by leading the Canadiens in scoring over the last three seasons, has vowed to be better ahead of Game 5 Saturday in Boston. 

Pacioretty has three points through eight playoff games and sports a minus-2 rating.
