Chara reportedly suffered a broken jaw from the puck to the face and there are now conflicting reports about his availability for the rest of the Stanley Cup Final.
BREAKING: @christianfauria is hearing Zdeno Chara is OUT for the rest of the #StanleyCup Final (Broken Jaw)

I'm hearing he's not. They will put plates in, wrap wires around teeth and put orthodontic bands to keep his jaw aligned….It won't be fully "wired shut" https://t.co/UAR7G1L8PT

If Chara can take the ice at all you have to believe he will. He’s one of the toughest guys in the NHL.
If he’s unable to play the rest of the series, then Bruins chances of winning another Stanley Cup Final will be in serious jeopardy.
