Zdeno Chara will not face charges

This will finally be put to rest. Zdeno Chara will not face any criminal charges for his hit last season on Montreal's Max Pacioretty.

QUEBEC CITY (AP)-Quebec's prosecutor says Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chara won't face criminal charges for his hit on Montreal Canadiens’ forward Max Pacioretty last spring.

Pacioretty broke a vertebra and was out for the season after being shoved into a stanchion by Boston's 6-foot-9 defenseman in March.

The provincial prosecutors' office said in a statement Thursday that it does not believe a court would find Chara guilty of a crime and it has closed the case.
