Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Savard announced Friday that he intends to retire after the team’s postseason run is over.
Savard, 34, has spent the last four of his 14 NHL seasons with the Canadiens.
Montreal will open the playoffs on the road Monday for Game 1 of a best-of-seven Eastern Conference first-round series against the top-seeded Washington Capitals.
The Quebec native has recorded 15 points (one goal, 14 assists) in 75 games this season.
A 2021 Stanley Cup champion with Tampa Bay, Savard has totaled 242 points (54 goals, 188 assists) with the Columbus Blue Jackets, Lightning and Canadiens. He was selected by the Blue Jackets in the fourth round of the 2009 NHL Draft.
