From NHL.com:

Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara will not be in the lineup against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday.

Bruins coach Claude Julien made the announcement after the morning skate Thursday.

Chara is on injured reserve because of an upper-body injury sustained Sept. 24 during a preseason game against the New York Rangers. He had practiced Wednesday and served as a substitute on the second power-play unit.

Last season Chara, 38, had eight goals and 20 points in 63 games. He missed two months because of a knee injury.
