Bruins centre Marc Savard is scheduled to meet with a concussion specialist on Monday after travelling back to Boston.
Savard stayed in a Pittsburgh hospital Sunday as a result of a
blindside hit he received from Penguins forward Matt Cooke during
Boston's 2-1 loss Sunday.
The veteran forward was able to eat on Monday, which is a good sign, according to a team spokesman.
Savard, who suffered a concussion, released a shot in the offensive
zone with 5:37 remaining in the third period. As he leaned forward in
the slot, Cooke charged in from his right, blindsiding the Bruins
playmaker.
Cooke's shoulder made clear and hard contact with Savard's head,
sending him down. Savard was on the ice for several minutes before
being wheeled off by the team's medical staff.
