Goaltender Brian Elliott is returning to the Philadelphia Flyers on a one-year, $2 million contract, general manager Chuck Fletcher announced Wednesday.

Injuries limited the 34-year-old Elliott to 26 games last season.

Bruins captain Zdeno Chara confirmed he suffered multiple fractures to his jaw when he was hit with a puck during Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Blues in St. Louis.

Chara, speaking to reporters at the Bruins' end-of-season availability Friday, said his jaw was being held together by "two plates, some wires and screws" for the last three games of the Final, won by the Blues on Wednesday.

"It's an amazing job on this," Chara said. "They were able to put [it] together quick -- 36 hours from the end of Game 4 to Game 5.

"Just being hit by a puck or blocking shots, there's nothing you can do about that. You play the game to put your body out there."

Hockey Hall of Famer Eric Lindros is hoping a new campaign launched across Ontario will help amateur athletes, parents and coaches better identify the signs and symptoms of a concussion after his career was cut short by repeated blows to the head.

"You see anything that's off or someone's not feeling quite right, let's pull them (out of the game)," Lindros told The Canadian Press this week. "Let's not even question it."

Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk has been medically cleared from a concussion and is likely to play in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday, coach Bruce Cassidy said.

"He'll be a game-time decision," Cassidy said. "But looks like he'll go in."

Cassidy said rookie Connor Clifton would probably be bumped from the lineup if Grzelcyk goes in against the Blues.

One of the Blues' most effective lines of the season will be reunited with the Stanley Cup on the line, as rookie winger Robert Thomas returns from injury in Game 6 on Sunday night against the Bruins.

The Blues lead the series, 3-2, and are seeking their first Cup in franchise history.

The Sharks said Wednesday that Karlsson had the operation last week and has already started rehabilitation. The team says Karlsson is expected to recover

Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said that injured defenseman Zdeno Chara will be evaluated in Boston and the team is preparing in case he can't go in Game 5.

Chara took a puck to the face in the second period of the Bruins' Game 4 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Monday and, according to multiple reports, has a broken jaw. He dropped to the ice bleeding, and was helped to the locker room. Chara returned with a face shield and sat on the Boston bench for the third period but did not play, per team trainers' orders.
