As expected, Savard (oblique) will return to the lineup Saturday night against the visiting Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Columbus may be last in the Metropolitan Division standings, but the team is still fighting hard with a 5-3-2 record over the past 10 games. Savard's presence in the lineup has significant implications as he's averaged just over 24 minutes per game this season and has a playmaker's touch as well. The fourth-year blueliner has recorded 16 points in 39 games this season.
