The Boston Bruins were without captain Zdeno Chara at practice Wednesday while defenseman Matt Grzelcyk returned to the ice in a non-contact jersey.

Chara took a puck to the face in Game 4 and reportedly suffered a broken jaw on the play. There's still no word on whether he'll be good to go in Game 5, according to head coach Bruce Cassidy.

Grzelcyk was on the ice for the first time since being hit from behind by Blues forward Oskar Sundqivst in Game 2. The 25-year-old blue-liner is still in concussion protocol and is hopeful to be cleared to play in Thursday's contest.

Here's how the Bruins' defensive pairings were set for practice with two regulars out.

Game 5 gets underway at 8:00 p.m. ET on Thursday with the series tied 2-2.
