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. 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.
