Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara should not have any legal trouble in Montreal next week as a result of his hit on Canadiens winger Max Pacioretty, Boston GM Peter Chiarelli said on Monday. The Bruins head to Montreal next week for Games 3 and 4 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinals series with the Canadiens. Chara's hit during a March 8 game left Pacioretty with a concussion and fractured vertebra. "They've been very good, the authorities up there, and I don't anticipate anything will happen when we get up there," Chiarelli said.
