The Bruins fight for a playoff spot just got a bit harder.
Facing the possibility of losing Marc Savard for the season, the Bruins are without Zdeno Chara for at least tonight.
Chara is having a bit of a down year offensively, just like the rest of the Bruins, but for a team that is struggling to score anytime they lose Chara for any amount of time it’s going to hurt. Jeff Penner will make his NHL debut tonight, which is exciting for Bruins fans and especially for Penner, but it’s going to be a rough go of it for Boston while they work through these injuries.
At least they’re facing the Maple Leafs tonight, which should make for a top notch offensive showcase in Toronto.
