Veteran defenceman David Savard will skate on a pairing with Lane Hutson in tonight's game and praised the on-ice vision of the exciting young blueliner.
"It makes sense even if it doesn't make sense in my head but when you see it after, what he's trying sometimes it feels like it's crazy but it's been working - his vision is elite," Savard said at Monday's practice.
The Canadiens skated with the following lines:
Newhook - Dach - Laine
Roy - Dvorak - Anderson
Barré-Boulet - Kapanen - Heineman
Davidson - Condotta - Tuch
Hutson - Savard
