Following a disagreement with them at the end of the second period, the Quebec defender received a 10-minute penalty for misconduct, thus placing the CH in a precarious situation for half of the third period.
After the match, the 34-year-old veteran still seemed confused as to why the referees called this extremely rare punishment.
“I think they saw something and I saw something else and then it seems that it was me who paid the price for (this disagreement)”, summarized Savard without wanting too much. dwell on the issue for fear of receiving a possible fine.
During his absence, CH scored a goal and allowed one to the opponent.
The officials had a rough night with some questionable calls. They notably missed a high stick from Logan Cooley directly to the face of Kaiden Guhle in front of the CH net which could have given the locals a power play.
Savard and his teammates won’t have much time to feel sorry for themselves since they will travel to Columbus to face the Blue Jackets on Wednesday evening for a second meeting in 24 hours.
