Marc Savard Diagnosed With Grade Two Concussion

Boston Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli has announced that center Marc Savard has a grade two concussion resulting from Matt Cooke’s blindside hit on Sunday. Memory loss is what separates a grade one from a grade two concussion, as an athlete doesn’t remember the events after the impact and possibly what led to the incident.

Savard, who has mentioned he is experiencing severe headaches and fatigue, will be monitored for the next few days by the Bruins. The 32-year-old has already missed a combined 23 games with a broken foot and then a right-knee injury. At this moment, there is no timetable for his return, however, Chiarelli is claiming that Savard could be out for the season.
