After being hit from behind by Steve Begin in Saturday's game against the Montreal Canadiens, Marc Savard had a CT Scan at Mass General Hospital and will not be in the line-up for Tuesday's game in Toronto. The results from the CT Scan are unknown however, if it comes back positive it could be something along the lines of a cracked rib or another broken bone.
Update 8:35- It appears that Savard is now definitely out for the next two games after having a CT Scan on his lower back/mid-torso. He will undergo another exam and possibly another CT Scan later this week.
McKeon's Take- This is a detrimental blow to this line-up as the team is already struggling to score with the number two man in assists playing, let alone without him (second by one point to old friend Joe Thornton). This concerns me dearly as this team needs a set-up guy like him to feed the puck to marginal/streaky scorers. Unfortunately, I missed the incident but I would love to know if it was an actual cheap shot or not. If it was, is this all Kyle McLaren karma coming to kick us right in the groin? Probably not but, the hockey gods work in funny ways and they haven't smiled down on the black and gold in quite a bit of time...
