Savard picked up two assists in Saturday's win over Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Savard now has four assists in nine games to open the season. While his minus-8 rating is a concern, Savard has been averaging 21:58 of ice time this year and is seeing time on the power play. Now that the Blue Jackets have won a game, look for Savard , who recorded 36 points last season, to start producing more heavily. The 25-year-old is skating on the top defensive pairing and has shown he can be a reliable source of production from the blueline.
