Two worrying news from the Canadiens and David Savard is involved
The Montreal Canadiens had two worrying announcements to make on Wednesday, and defenseman David Savard is involved.
Indeed, the veteran and Alex Newhook are not participating in the team's practice, raising questions.
"Alex Newhook and David Savard will not participate in today's practice (therapy day)." - Montreal Canadiens
With Savard's playing style, sacrificing his body in front of almost every opponent's shot night after night, it's always concerning to know he's not feeling well.
However, he's tough and a warrior. He should be back on the ice for the next game.
As for Newhook, it's also troubling because he suffered a serious injury earlier this season and is now emerging as an important player for the Canadiens as the second-line center.
Now, we'll have to see if any additional details will be provided, but for now, everything suggests that both will be in uniform Thursday night to face the Tampa Bay Lightning.
