Hey guys,
I just heard through the grapevine that Boston Bruins forward Marc Savard is out for a while with a broken left foot.
The Boston Herald is reporting that he is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, which sucks for Boston because it has stumbled out of the gates after such a great 2008-09 campaign. The Bruins are 3-4 and averaging only 2.7 goals per game. Savard was their leading scorer with seven points so far.
The team’s GM told reporters that Savard actually injured his foot in a preseason practice and was playing with the injury in the first seven games of the year before re-aggravating it in a 4-1 loss to Phoenix Saturday. Boston is also missing winger Milan Lucic, who is on the IR with a broken finger.
The Bruins are -210 home favorites versus the Predators tonight. The total is set at 5.5 goals. Boston is 4-3 over/under this season.
Hope that helps. Good luck B’s fans!
