Chara (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, retroactive to Feb. 26.

EDGE Analysis

Chara has missed the last three games while dealing with an upper-body injury. His retroactive designation allows him to return as soon as Monday's game against Colorado if Chara's healthy by then. The 44-year-old has averaged 18:15 of ice time and recorded eight points over 45 games this season.
