Big Z remains a force on the Bruins top defensive line. Though he saw a dip in offensive production in 2014-15 (20 points in 63 games), Chara remains the captain, as the “C” on his chest states. His strong leadership and defensive mind will allow the younger Bruins core to improve and prosper. His guidance will be key to how the younger players perform towards the end of the season.
