Chara is still B's pull-up king

BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins completed their off-ice testing and physicals Thursday at TD Garden, with no surprises.

Bruins captain Zdeno Chara owns the training camp pullup competition with 31, but last season fellow defenseman Kevan Miller tied Chara. This year, Chara beat Miller by only two, 35-33.

When the team takes the ice Friday at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington, two players will not participate -- forward Gregory Campbell and defenseman Linus Arnesson. According to general manager Peter Chiarelli, Campbell is dealing with a minor mid-core injury and Arnesson tweaked his groin.

Also, Bruins veteran forward Milan Lucic, who underwent wrist surgery last May, will take it slow during camp in order to continue his rehab.
