Defense Optional In Panthers 7-3 Loss To Visiting Bruins
SUNRISE (CBSMiami/AP) — It was the latest in a season full of forgettable defensive performances by the Florida Panthers.
This time they were embarrassed on home ice by the playoff-bound Boston Bruins.
Zdeno Chara picked a great time to score a milestone goal.
Chara scored his 200th NHL goal and added an assist to help the Bruins beat the Panthers 7-3 on Saturday night and clinch a berth in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Earlier in the day, the Bruins announced the 42-year-old Chara signed a one-year, $2 million contract extension.
The goal was his first since Feb. 18th at San Jose.
