Zdeno Chara will most likely not be available for games this week against Los Angeles, Ottawa, and Philadelphia because of a leg injury, according to a source.
Chara owners should probably look for a substitution now in order to replace the big man for the next three games. The hulking defenseman has five goals and 18 points through 27 games as he picked up where he left off last season. Expect Steven Kampfer to get back into the lineup in his absence.

Postgame, Julien told NESN re: Chara: "Lower body injury..." He didn't know the severity.^BISH
Chara is a tough customer so not returning to the lineup means he must have been hurt pretty badly. The hulking defenseman has five goals and 18 points through 27 games as he picked up where he left off last season. Expect a further update on his injury as more news comes in.

Chara wont play tnight
Chara will take a few days to heal from his bruise; a veteran like Big Z certainly doesn't need as much training as some of the younger players.

Chara in pain after getting hit by puck in what looked like the inside of his left knee. Looks like he's done for the day. #Bruins
