Marc Savard To Be Re-Evaluated

Oct 17, 2014 7:42 AM

On Monday, Bruins forward Marc Savard remained at home in Ontario with symptoms from his fourth career concussion while his teammates practiced. Savard suffered the latest concussion on Jan. 22. He's expected to return to Boston on Tuesday or Wednesday and will be re-evaluated at that point. "He still has some symptoms. It hasn't totally disappeared," said coach Claude Julien. "We'll let the medical people deal with him when he gets back. Hopefully for his sake, not the team's sake, but more for his sake that he gets better. "It's important for the individual here that he takes care of himself. The organization, medical staff, upper management and everybody has always done the right thing as far as that's concerned, and that won't change."

Savard Returns To Boston For Tests

Oct 17, 2014 7:50 AM

Bruins center Marc Savard, who returned to Boston after suffering a head injury for the second time in a week, is expected to be evaluated on Monday. Savard did not accompany the team to Los Angeles after crashing into the board head-first when hit by former teammate Matt Hunwick during Saturday's game at Colorado. "He flew back today and I guess he just got back late this afternoon," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "Nothing's happened since he left or since he got back to Boston, so I haven't heard of anything yet. "We may not find out anything until [Monday]."
