Line Change
Lots of power play and penalty kill work today in practice. Of note is that rookie David Savard took shifts with the No. 1 power play unit, taking James Wisniewski's spot on the right side point opposite Fedor Tyutin.
Savard continues to impress following a strong training camp. Through 72 games with the Springfield Falcons last season, the 20-year-old scored 11 goals and 43 points. Expect him to get a long look from the team before James Wisniewski returns.
Line Change
On the back end, David Savard and Holden have looked very good. So has John Moore at times. There’s room for two of them on the roster with James Wisniewski under suspension.
With the team sending Holden down today, Savard should make the team as the sixth defenseman. Through 72 games with the Springfield Falcons last season, the 20-year-old scored 11 goals and 43 points. Expect him to see time on the bottom pair and even get a chance to play the power play.
