EDGE Analysis

With Montreal's fourth line badgering the Penguins in their own end, Savard intercepted an Erik Karlsson pass, went directly to the net and beat Alex Nedeljkovic with a wrist shot high to the glove side. The tally was Savard's first of the season and the 23rd scored by a Montreal defenseman, tied for the league lead with Colorado. Savard, who missed 22 games with a hand injury, was activated off injured reserve Sunday. He's skating on the top pair, where he serves as the defensive-minded complement to Mike Matheson.
