Savard (lower body) will miss Saturday's contests against the Hurricanes.
Scouting Report
A prototypical defensive defenseman, he is reliable in a shutdown role but will not contribute much offense. Moves the puck well and is a rugged, fearless shot blocker who will get in front of anything. He was never fast and figures to lose a little bit of speed now that he is on the far side of 30, but remains capable of playing 20-plus minutes per game.
Long Range Potential: Solid shutdown defenseman.
