Chara in for Bruins despite reported broken jaw

NHL

BOSTON — Bruins captain Zdeno Chara is in the lineup for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, less than 72 hours after he reportedly sustained a broken jaw after taking a puck to the face.

Defenseman Matt Grzelcyk, meanwhile, will miss his third straight game after sustaining a concussion in Game 2.

Chara will wear a full shield during the game for protection. He took line rushes with his usual defensive partner, Charlie McAvoy, in pregame warm-ups.
