In the Bruins’ run to the Stanley Cup Final, Marc Savard served as the banner captain for Game 5 of the first-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The next time Savard is at TD Garden, it will be as a member of the St. Louis Blues’ coaching staff.
Blues president of hockey operations and general manager Doug Armstrong announced Wednesday that the team has named Savard an assistant coach.
“I was fortunate to play with Marc during my career and I’m very familiar with his passion and acumen for the game,’’ said Blues coach Craig Berube in a statement.
