EDGE Analysis

Savard was the primary helper late in the third period, dishing a pretty feed to Alex Newhook for Montreal's second goal. It was Savard's first point of the season. He's not known for his offense and needs to deliver value in the blocked shot and hit categories, although his 61 hits over 62 games last season was a serious reduction from the previous campaign. Tuesday's three checks were his first of the season.
