Zdeno Chara is going back to the place where his NHL career began.
The former Bruin will sign a one-year deal with the New York Islanders, the team announced Saturday.
Chara, 44, was drafted by the Islanders in the third round of the 1996 NHL Draft. He made his debut with them in 1997, staying in New York until 2001, when he was traded to the Senators.
Shortly after the deal was announced, Chara took to Instagram to share the news.
“I had to get some dust off them, but sure they still looking good!
