Savard, who was knocked out of the last 8 games because of a partial MCL tear in his right knee, will return to Boston's lineup tomorrow. It couldn't come soon enough, as the Bruins have lost 5 in a row, and are currently on the outside looking in on the NHL playoffs. The Bruins hope that he can give them an offensive spark, which they have been missing for most of the season.
Another reason this is important is because the Bruins have been linked to a number of trade rumors around the league. One inside source even said that he expects a Bruins trade within the next 2 weeks. With Savard back on the ice the Bruins can focus on what they may need to get back to where they were last year, so how he plays, and how this team gels could become very important.
