David Savard (oblique) was a full participant at Monday's practice, but coach John Tortorella indicated after practice that he remains "day-to-day" and isn't expected to play Tuesday.

Analysis:

While Savard still seems unlikely to dress for Tuesday's contest, the fact that he participated fully in practice Monday and is considered just day-to-day bodes well for a potential return in the near future. Assuming he misses Tuesday as expected, his next chance to rejoin the lineup would then come Thursday against the Ducks. Either way, the 25-year-old blueliner is still on injured reserve, meaning the Jackets should announce his activation once he's fit to play.
