Chara scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh.
The 45-year-old defenseman scored his first goal of the season (and his first for the Islanders in over two decades) with just over a minute remaining in the third period. Chara's days as a 20-30 point defenseman are long behind him, as the goal was his first point since March 26 and only his 11th in 64 games. Still, the 6-foot-9 veteran remains a solid defensive presence, averaging 18:39 per game with a plus-7 rating.
