David Savard Good To Go Monday

Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Savard (upper body) will play against Edmonton on Monday. He was a late scratch on Saturday versus Columbus due to an upper-body injury. Savard has been offensively anonymous in 2024-25, collecting four assists in 17 games, but he's second on the team with 45 blocks and has delivered 17 hits. The veteran will take up his normal position on the second defensive pairing next to Lane Hutson. Justin Barron will head to the press box as a healthy scratch.

David Savard Sits Out Practice For Maintenance Purposes

Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Savard took a maintenance day on Friday and didn't practice. The veteran defenseman had a busy night on Thursday against the Capitals, finishing with one assist and five blocks in 20:46 of ice time. Savard is second on the team with 31 blocks but has also upped his offensive game lately. Following a pointless start to the campaign, Savard has tallied four assists in the past five games. He has so featured in all 11 games this season and is expected to be available when the Canadiens visit Pittsburgh on Saturday.

David Savard Returns For Montreal

Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Savard (hand) will be welcomed back into the lineup Sunday against Nashville. The veteran blue-liner broke his hand early into the season and will return from a 22-game absence. Before getting hurt, Savard skated in five games, posting two assists with four shots on goal, four hits, and 14 blocks. The team has announced that the decision on who comes out of the lineup to accommodate Savard will be made after warmups.

David Savard Out For 6-8 Weeks

Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Savard will miss 6-8 weeks of action due to a fractured left hand. He was injured in Monday's matchup versus Buffalo, leaving Montreal without another big piece from the back after Kaiden Guhle (upper body) got knocked out of the lineup. Justin Barron replaced Savard on the first defensive pairing on Tuesday against New Jersey and scored in a second consecutive game. He'll be carrying some extra fantasy value until the injuries in defense clear up for Montreal.

David Savard Ruled Out Indefinitely

Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Savard has been ruled out indefinitely with an upper-body injury. Savard was injured in Monday's 3-1 victory over Buffalo. This is another blow for the Canadiens blue line, which already lost Kaiden Guhle (upper body) a couple of games back. Savard collected his second point of the season Monday via an assist and has tallied four shots on goal, four hits, and 14 blocks with a plus-two rating in five games. He's been partnering with Mike Matheson on the first defensive pairing, and there's a backline shuffle coming up for Tuesday's matchup against the Devils. Gustav Lindstrom has been called up from the AHL on an emergency basis to replace Savard in the lineup.

David Savard A Game-Time Call Thursday

Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Savard (undisclosed) is regarded as a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against Florida. He missed the morning skate with an unspecified ailment and the veteran might have to skip his 14th game of the season. Savard has seen heavy usage on the first defensive pairing, but he's never been a very prolific player and the 2022-23 campaign has so far brought him 20 points with 63 shots on goal, 61 hits and 176 blocks.

David Savard Ready To Return

Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Savard (upper body) will re-enter the lineup Tuesday against Nashville. He has finally recovered from an upper-body problem and will be back after missing 13 games. The veteran has tallied eight points in 24 outings this season, producing 24 shots on net, 19 hits and 74 blocks. He has been used in all situations and averages over 22 minutes per game. Savard will be replacing Johnathan Kovacevic in the lineup and is set to link up with Jordan Harris at the back.

David Savard Unavailable For Multiple Weeks

Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Savard (upper body) has been ruled out for 2-3 weeks. He will miss a fifth consecutive game Wednesday against Ottawa and we won't be seeing him until after the holiday break. The veteran has been a beast on the defensive end with 74 blocks and 24 games, and he has also chipped in offensively with one goal and seven assists. Savard averages over 22 minutes of ice time and filling his skates hasn't been easy. Everybody on the backline has started to log more minutes, with their workload also increasing due to Mike Matheson's (lower body) injury. He will miss a third consecutive game Wednesday.

David Savard Out With An Upper-Body Injury

Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Savard will miss Monday's matchup against Vancouver with an upper-body injury. He will miss his first game of the season and Montreal considers Savard day-to-day. Savard has been a shot-blocking machine for Montreal, throwing himself in front of 74 shots in 24 games, and he has chipped in a bit offensively as well, registering eight points. The 32-year-old has been skating on the first defensive pairing with Mike Matheson and is averaging the second-most minutes on the team, so Savard's absence is set to leave a significant gap on the Canadiens blue line. With another game coming up on Tuesday, it's possible that he will be forced to miss multiple games.

David Savard Nabs Four-Year Contract with Montreal Canadiens

David Savard will call the Montreal Canadiens home for the next four seasons. The veteran defenseman signed a deal on Wednesday that will pay him $3.5 million AAV. Though this contract offers no-trade protection, the deal gives Savard a $500,000 bonus for the final year. The middle years pay Savard $4.2 million while the first and last year may him $2.8 million each. While the defender may not shoot the puck on the net quite as he did in his early years, Savard still has some fantasy relevance. The defenseman regularly breaks 100 hits and 100 blocked shots a season which makes him a decent add in rotisserie leagues. Could Savard chip in 15 points or so with Montreal? That is entirely possible as well.

David Savard Heads To Tampa In Three-Team Trade

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman David Savard was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday in a three-team trade that also included the Detroit Red Wings. Columbus received Tampa's first-round draft pick in 2021 and a third-round pick in 2022, Detroit picked up a fourth-rounder in 2021 from the Lightning, who also added defenseman Brian Lashoff from Detroit in the trade. Savard will bring bags of experience with him and will add veteran presence to the Bolts side. The 30-year-old skated 40 times for the Jackets this season, picking up six points with 48 shots, 95 hits and 89 blocks. Lashoff has been in the AHL all year.
