David Savard News

Savard was a surprise scratch on Thursday, with his absence not being announced prior to warmups. The Canadiens added that Savard is considered day-to-day with the injury. Jayden Struble will draw into the lineup in his place.

Savard will return to the lineup after a one-game absence due to an upper-body injury, replacing Justin Barron. The 34-year-old Savard is averaging 18:36 time-on-ice, registering four points (0G / 4A), 45 blocks, and 15 hits in 17 games.

Savard will be out indefinitely after suffering an upper-body injury in the Canadiens' Monday night matchup against the Buffalo Sabres. Savard has two points (0G / 2A), four hits, and 14 blocks in five games this season. Gustav Lindstrom was recalled on an emergency basis and will be an option to replace Savard on defence.

Savard has three goals, 17 assists, 63 SOG, 40 PIMs and a -14 plus/minus through 62 games played but will play Thursday vs. Florida despite being a game-time decision earlier. The 32-year-old is dealing with an undisclosed injury for the time being.

Savard has missed the last 13 games with an upper-body injury but will play Tuesday in Nashville. Savard, who had eight points (1G / 7A) and a minus-4 rating in 24 games before getting hurt, is expected to replace Chris Wideman in the lineup and skate on a pairing with Jordan Harris.

Savard has not played since Dec. 3rd and it was announced Tuesday that he will be week-to-week with an upper-body injury. The 32-year-old stay-at-home defenseman has a goal, seven assists, and 24 SOG across 24 games prior to his injury.

With Savard unavailable for Monday's game in Vancouver, either Chris Wideman or Jordan Harris will draw into the Canadiens' lineup. Consider him questionable for tomorrow's game in Seattle as well.
