What It Means:

Savard will miss Thursday's game as a result. Kevin Connauton will help fill the void after being a healthy scratch on Tuesday.

Savard tallied 11 goals and 25 assists in 82 games a year ago. He has no goals and 13 assists in 33 contests this season. We have him projected to record four more goals and 14 more helpers over the rest of the season, although those numbers will need tweaked if he misses significant time.
