Injuries to two of Chara's fingers that he suffered in last season's playoffs have sufficiently healed, according to the Boston Herald.

Analysis:

While the report notes that the nail on his ring finger is still growing back, Chara shouldn't be hampered by the issue once training camp opens. The 37-year-old blueliner, who indicated that his offseason workouts focused on improving his quickness, remains on track to see plenty of ice time for the Bruins, including power play duty, a scenario that keeps him on the fantasy radar, on the heels of a 2013-14 season in which he recorded 40 points in 77 games, to go along with 66 PIM and a plus-25 rating.
