EDGE Analysis

Savard has yet to score this season prior to his Dec. 15th injury, but dished out 13 helpers, including two with the extra attacker. The Blue Jackets could use some help on the blueline, with both Savard and Cody Goloubef expected to miss significant time with injuries. The 25-year-old will be missed, averaging almost 25 minutes per game of ice time.
