Notches assist in win Savard recorded an assist and three blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact The helper snapped an eight-game point drought for Savard. That's not unusually for the 34-year-old defenseman -- his primary contribution comes in blocked shots, which he's had 29 of over his last 10 outings. For the season, he's at 13 points, 40 shots on net, 30 PIM, 49 hits and 151 blocks over 60 outings. He'll likely finish short of the 20-point mark for the first time in three years barring an improbable surge on offense over the final month of the campaign.

Adds helper in win Savard notched an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

The blueliner earned just one assist over 17 contests between Nov. 2 and Dec. 14. He shouldn't be expected to keep up his recent pace, as his third-pairing role and heavily defensive style typically don't lead to much scoring. He has 10 points, 23 shots on net, 90 blocked shots, 31 hits and 22 PIM over 35 appearances this season.
