Savard plays heavy match up minutes in Montreal. He averages 20 minutes per game at even strength and the PK … which speaks to his (-11) rating defensively … no easy shifts.
Savard produces some depth offense, but he's mostly counted on to defend with some push back.
He isn't a burner. In fact he's an average skater who relies on his hockey sense and read/react game to get in shooting lanes and block shots.
He's been credited with 43 hits and 98 shot blocks.
