We just witnessed a concerning scene live from the Montreal Canadiens practice in Chicago involving David Savard.

It was TVA Sports journalist Renaud Lavoie who first reported the news, but Savard has indeed suddenly left his team’s practice.

We do not know the exact reason, but you can guess this is currently a topic attracting a lot of attention.

David Savard leaves Canadiens practice

It could be related to an injury or something else, but we will certainly keep you informed of any developments.

See Renaud Lavoie’s post:

Let us recall that David Savard’s name has been involved in several trade rumors for a few months now, but for the moment, there is no indication that this departure is related to a trade (even though it’s among the possibilities).

I don’t think this is related to a trade.

Let’s especially hope that David is not injured.

This is mainly what we are monitoring right now in terms of announcements or updates from the Montreal Canadiens organization.

Let us remember that Martin St-Louis’s squad has a matchup with the Chicago Blackhawks tomorrow night at 8:00 PM on the road.

We will know in the coming hours if David Savard will be part of the game or not.

If he does have to be absent, a young player like Jayden Struble might be called upon to take on a larger role.

Details to follow.
