Savard has been a significant piece on the Habs blueline. He was averaging just over 20 minutes of ice time per game prior to the injury. 21-year-old defenseman Justin Barron, whom the Canadiens acquired from the Avalanche when they traded Artturi Lehkonen, will likely serve as Savard's replacement.
As seen on Major: Savard has suffered a fracture
