According to Sportsnet’s Damien Cox, Zdeno Chara could return to the Boston Bruins lineup as soon as Dec. 11.

During Saturday’s second intermission report, Cox said the Bruins and Chara are targeting the mid-December return date, which would coincide with a game against the Chicago Blackhawks – a rematch of the 2013 Stanley Cup final.

Cox noted that Chara will not travel with the team on its road trip this week.

Chara has not played since Oct. 23 after he sustained a torn ligament in his left knee. The Bruins have been 10-4-1 in his absence.
