Watch: Zdeno Chara, Russ Hoyt serve as Bruins’ fan banner captains for Game 2 vs. Panthers

Fresh off of his conquest of the Boston Marathon on Monday, Bruins legend Zdeno Chara returned to his old stomping grounds to cheer on his former team.

Chara and Russ Hoyt — President and CEO of The Hoyt Foundation — served as fan banner captains ahead of the Bruins’ Game 2 matchup against the Panthers on Wednesday.

Chara, towering over the rest of the Garden spectators near the glass, waved Boston’s banner and spurred the crowd just ahead of puck drop.
