Blue Jackets' Savard activated from injured reserve
Russell LaBounty-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports
Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman David Savard (ankle) has been activated from injured reserve.
Analysis:
Savard's activation suggests that he's healthy again after sustaining an ankle injury in a Dec. 15 match with the Stars. His minus-13 rating is ugly, but Savard provides decent utility when it comes to assists -- the fifth-year man has 13 setups from the blue line this campaign.
