MONTREAL — Nikita Zadorov does not have to look up to speak to someone often. He is 6-foot-7. But late last season, Zdeno Chara first started making the rounds of the Boston Bruins dressing room. He is 6-9. The future hockey operations adviser and mentor pulled Zadorov aside. For once, Zadorov was Little Z.Chara told Zadorov a story. Before practice, he would select an unlucky teammate.
