For the second time in a week, Bruins center Marc Savard suffered a head injury. Savard, racing Matt Hunwick down for a puck toward the Avalanche end boards 3:19 into the second, went flying into the boards head-first when hit by Hunwick. Boston coach Claude Julien said after Boston's 6-2 win that it was a "clean hit," but unlike last Saturday when Savard came back and played after taking a hard hit to the head, he laid on the ice squirming in pain, had to be helped off by teammates and trainers, and did not return to action. "Marc is going to be heading back home," Julien told the media after the game. "He got shook up obviously on that hit and he's going to be re-evaluated. We don't have anything concrete except that we're going to be cautious and send him back home and get it checked out."
