Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara took a shot to the wrist from Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko in Game 1 of the 2019 Stanley Cup Final. Luckily for Boston, the 42-year-old appears to be all right.
In a scary moment during the 4-2 comeback win for the Bruins, Tarasenko’s shot impacted on Chara’s exposed wrist. The puck caused a noticeable cut, sending the captain to the locker room.
According to Chara, the injury required stitches. However, he said that he was alright.
“Yeah, I’m fine,” Chara told reporters. “Just got a cut, so [I] just needed to get some stitches quickly.”
