One day after their major free-agent signing went down with an injury, the Bruins on Thursday announced defenseman Zdeno Chara suffered nothing more than a bruised foot. Inked to a five-year, $37.5 million contract on July 1, Chara was killing a 5-on-3 power play in the first period of Wednesday's preseason game against Montreal when Canadiens blue-liner Sheldon Souray unleashed a slap shot that hit the 6-9 Slovakian in the left skate. Chara remained in the game and opened the scoring with a man-advantage tally at 8:26 of the session but did not return after the first intermission for precautionary reasons. X-rays that were taken on Chara's foot Wednesday morning were negative, leaving the monstrous figure with only a bruise.
