  • Canadiens' David Savard: Three blocks in return

    Savard had three blocked shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Stars.

    Savard returned to the lineup after missing four games due to an upper-body injury. He resumed a role on the third pair with Arber Xhekaj. Jayden Struble, who had filled in while Savard was unavailable, was a healthy scratch.

  • Canadiens' David Savard: Ready to return

    Savard (upper body) is good to draw back into the lineup Saturday versus Dallas.

    Savard missed four straight games due to an injury. He has a goal and nine assists across 35 appearances in 2024-25. Savard's return will probably make Jayden Struble a healthy scratch in Saturday's matchup.

  • Canadiens' David Savard: Not traveling Friday

    Savard (upper body) will not be with the Canadiens when they travel to Washington on Friday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

    Savard will be shelved for his fourth consecutive contest due to his lingering upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the blueliner was offering decent offensive production with five points in his last seven outings. The veteran hasn't reached the 30-point threshold since 2014-15 when he was with Columbus and is well behind the pace required to do so this year even once he returns to full health.

    Savard continues to deal with an upper-body injury, and he'll be unavailable for a third consecutive matchup. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to the lineup, but Jayden Struble should continue to see playing time while Savard is out.

    Savard has a goal and four assists in his last seven games. The 34-year-old defenseman has one goal, nine assists, 31 hits and 90 blocked shots through 35 games this season. Should Savard sit out, Jayden Struble will enter the lineup on the third pairing, alongside Arber Xhekaj.

  • Canadiens' David Savard: Adds helper in win

    Savard notched an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

    Savard has looked good in the latter half of December, earning a goal and four assists over his last seven games. The blueliner earned just one assist over 17 contests between Nov. 2 and Dec. 14. He shouldn't be expected to keep up his recent pace, as his third-pairing role and heavily defensive style typically don't lead to much scoring. He has 10 points, 23 shots on net, 90 blocked shots, 31 hits and 22 PIM over 35 appearances this season.

  • Canadiens' David Savard: Rare two-pointer in loss

    Savard scored a goal on three shots and assisted on another in Monday's 5-4 loss to Columbus. He also had four blocked shots and one hit.

    Savard helped Montreal scramble back from 2-0 and 3-1 deficits. He scored Montreal's first goal early in the second period then triggered a break that led to the goal that tied the game at 3-3. It was the defenseman's first two-point effort of the season. He's up to one goal and eight assists through 32 outings, and he's also contributed 84 blocked shots as a defensive pillar.

  • Canadiens' David Savard: Nabs assist in win

    Savard recorded an assist and three blocked shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

    Savard has two helpers over his last three games. The defenseman is up to seven assists, 18 shots on net, 22 PIM, 30 hits, 80 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating across 31 appearances this season. Savard plays a heavily defensive role and often in a bottom-four position, so he's unlikely to generate much offense. He has a little fantasy value in deeper formats that reward blocks.

  • Canadiens' David Savard: Returns to lineup

    Savard had four blocked shots and three hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Winnipeg.

    Savard returned to action Saturday after he was held out of Montreal's previous game due to an upper-body injury. Jayden Struble was a healthy scratch to make room for Savard. The 34-year-old defenseman took 18 shifts, had 17:45 TOI and logged minutes on the top PK unit, which is a normal night of work for Savard. The four blocks increased his season total to a team-high 74.

    Savard provided an assist, two blocked shots and 12 PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah.

    Savard ended an eight-game point drought when he helped out on Jayden Struble's second-period tally. The 34-year-old Savard also missed one game due to an injury in that span. Offense has never been his priority as a shutdown defender. He's doing fine with five assists, 12 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 18 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 20 outings this season, playing mainly in a top-four role.

  • Canadiens' David Savard: Good to go

    Savard (upper body) will play against Edmonton on Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

  • Canadiens' David Savard: Back on scoresheet

    Savard had an assist and five blocks in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals.

    Savard set up Nick Suzuki's one-timer to the tie it up at 3-3 late in the second period. The blueliner was back on the scoresheet after having a three-game assist streak halted in Tuesday's ugly loss to the Kraken. The blocks are nothing new for Savard, who routinely crosses the century mark in that category. He currently has 31 blocked shots over 11 outings.

The 34-year-old doesn't make his biggest contributions on the scoresheet, instead often stepping in to block shots. He has 26 blocks, nine hits, four shots on net and a minus-7 rating through nine contests in a top-four role this season.
