Samuel Savoie Undergoes Successful Surgery
Chicago Blackhawks prospect Samuel Savoie has undergone successful surgery on his right femur and is expected to make a full recovery. The 19-year-old suffered the nasty leg injury in Saturday's preseason contest versus Minnesota when he fell awkwardly into the boards following a hit from Wild defenseman Alex Goligoski. The Blackhawks picked Savoie in the third round of the NHL Draft last year. He posted 59 points (26 goals, 33 assists) in 60 games with the Gatineau Olympiques in the QMJHL in 2022-23 and was expected to take another leap in the upcoming campaign. Unfortunately, it looks like his season has ended even before it began, but it's great news that the young forward is expected to fully recover.
