Chara gathered an assist, four blocks, and three shot attempts in Thursday's win over the Islanders. With a modest 11 points in 29 games this season, it's worth wondering if Chara's days as a top-notch fantasy blueliner might be over. He was able to table such talk last season by riding a strong second half to a runner-up finish in the Norris Trophy balloting, and his owners will surely be looking for a similar turnaround again. Now 37 years old, it's unclear if Chara has much high-level offensive game left in him. The assist Thursday was his first point in six games.
