Savard seemed to be a dark horse to make the Blue Jackets opening night roster, I think some fans were shocked by him staying up with Columbus, and by how much ice time he is getting during the season so far. In the 5 games played this season, Savard has 2 assists, is a plus 3, and is averaging right around 18 minutes of ice time.
Before this season, Savard had only played in 35 NHL games, scoring 2 goals, and adding 8 assists – all points came from the 2011-2012 season. Last year he only played in 4 NHL games and spent most of his time with the Springfield Falcons.
Best Performances:
- 2010-2011: 11 goals, 32 assists for 43 points (72 GP – Springfield Falcons)
- 2012-2013: 5 goals, 26 assists for 31 points (60 GP – Springfield Falcons)
