David Savard Injury: Won't play Saturday

Savard is a late scratch for Saturday's game against Columbus because of an upper-body injury, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Savard has four assists, 17 hits and 45 blocks in 17 appearances with the Canadiens in 2024-25. Jayden Struble, who would have otherwise been a healthy scratch Saturday, is expected to play due to Savard's absence.
