Zdeno Chara Scores 200th NHL Goal
6 years agoBoston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara scored a goal and added an assist in a 7-3 victory over the Florida Panthers, helping clinch a playoff spot for his team. Aside from the team accomplishment, Chara's second-period tally moved him into a very special class of just 22 defenseman in NHL history to record 200 career goals. The 42-year-old isn't quite the offensive weapon as he was earlier in his career (just 13 points in 56 games this season) but he's proved he can still provide value as a depth defenseman in deeper fantasy leagues with his strong plus-20 rating, 52 penalty minutes, 88 shots on goal and 72 hits. Having just signed a one-year, $2 million extension earlier on Saturday, hockey fans are fortunate to get to watch Chara, an expected Hall Of Famer, participate in his 22nd NHL season in 2019-2020.
