 BOSTON (AP) - Zdeno Chara's intimidating slap shot paid off without him needing to use it. Chara scored his first career shootout goal in his initial attempt, lifting the struggling Boston Bruins to a 4-3 win over the New York Islanders on Saturday night.
Chara, the ninth Bruins' shooter in the tiebreaker, skated down the middle and faked a shot before slipping the puck between Rick DiPietro's pads.
"I thought he was going to let the bomb go," Boston's Marc Savard said. "I think everybody did. DiPietro had to be closing his eyes thinking he was going to get hit with it."
