Chara (jaw) will miss Monday's game against the Capitals, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chara will sit out the game due to a previously-scheduled jaw surgery, stemming from his broken jaw he suffered in the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season. In his absence, John Moore (illness) or a call up from AHL Providence will enter the lineup. Chara is expected to be back for Friday's game against the Sabres per Joe McDonald of The Athletic.
