Bruins' Savard has Grade 2 concussion

Hockey Betting Lines

03/08/2010 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Boston Bruins forward Marc Savard has a Grade 2 concussion, general manager Peter Chiarelli announced Monday.

There is no timetable for Savard's return. He will be monitored by the Bruins medical staff and team physician Dr. Peter Asnis, who diagnosed the concussion along with a concussion specialist from Massachusetts General Hospital, over the next 4-5 days. The medical team is expected to have an updated prognosis at that time.

Savard left Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Penguins on a stretcher after being drilled by Pittsburgh's Matt Cooke.

Cooke, who is known for his physical nature, caught an unsuspecting Savard in the head with a shoulder moments after he released a shot from the high slot.

Savard lay on the ice motionless for several minutes while being attended to by the medical staff. He was eventually taken away on a stretcher.

No penalty was called on the play, which occurred with 5:37 remaining in the third period.

Savard, in his 12th season, has played just 41 games and has 10 goals and 23 assists.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
