Lots of power play and penalty kill work today in practice. Of note is that rookie David Savard took shifts with the No. 1 power play unit, taking James Wisniewski's spot on the right side point opposite Fedor Tyutin.
Savard continues to impress following a strong training camp. Through 72 games with the Springfield Falcons last season, the 20-year-old scored 11 goals and 43 points. Expect him to get a long look from the team before James Wisniewski returns.

On the back end, David Savard and Holden have looked very good. So has John Moore at times. There’s room for two of them on the roster with James Wisniewski under suspension.
With the team sending Holden down today, Savard should make the team as the sixth defenseman. Through 72 games with the Springfield Falcons last season, the 20-year-old scored 11 goals and 43 points. Expect him to see time on the bottom pair and even get a chance to play the power play.

Wisniewski's shot will be missed, especially on the power play. Savard has the best skill set of that "leaners", so maybe that gives him the nod.
Savard could grasp a roster spot as the team lacks a third puck-moving defender. Last season he impressed with 11 goals and 43 points over 72 games with the Springfield Falcons. Look for him to make the team at some point this season.
