Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chara sustained a broken jaw after a shot deflected off his stick into his face during Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final, a source told The Athletic’s Jeremy Rutherford on Tuesday.
The incident occurred three minutes into the second period of the Bruins’s 4-2 loss Monday when St. Louis Blues centre Brayden Schenn fired a puck that redirected off Chara’s stick into his face, sending him to the locker-room bloodied.
The towering defenceman returned to the bench for the third period with a full visor, but wasn’t medically cleared to play.
The best-of-seven series is tied at two games apiece.
