ST. LOUIS — Moving his mouth just enough to get the words out, Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara insisted Saturday afternoon he is playing with “no limitations.’’
“I’m still able to play,’’ Chara told reporters at Enterprise Center.
Five days after taking a puck to the face — one that left him on the ice dripping blood — Chara wouldn’t let on if he feels any pain as a result of the facial injury suffered in the second period of Game 4. Nor would he say if his play has been impacted. He acknowledged there was a “quick turnaround’’ between Games 4 and 5 but noted he “felt fine’’ returning as early as he did.
