Just a quick update on Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chara.

According to Joe McDonald of The Athletic, Chara is dealing with an infection due to the hardware that is holding his jaw together.

As a result, Chara will need to undergo a procedure to have the existing plates and screws in his jaw removed and replaced with some new hardware.

No word yet on when Chara will undergo this procedure or if he is expected to miss any time.

Chara has recorded 13 points in 37 games with the Bruins this season.
