All Zdeno Chara could do was sit and watch from the press box.ithout their 6-foot-9 captain (as well as Dennis Seidenberg) for their opening night matchup with the Winnipeg Jets, the Bruins entered Thursday without a viable top four defenseman.
The pairings in their 6-2 season opening loss were as follows:
Torey Krug-Adam Mcquaid
Joe Morrow-Kevan Miller
Matt Irwin-Zach Trotman
For a defense that was already thin to start the 2015-16 campaign, losing Chara, who is day to day with an upper body injury, was a problem that was too tall to overcome for the Black and Gold.
