Marc Savard had played in 661 NHL games before making his first playoff appearance, and he has already made his mark. He has three points in his first three games, including the overtime game-winner in game 3 against the Montreal Canadiens.Though his games total trails Florida's Olli Jokinen, who has 723 games under his belt without a whiff of playoff action, Savard has outscored Jokinen with 576 career points compared to 461. None of that matters now, though, as the Bruins look to even the series 2-2 on Tuesday in Boston.

BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins finally found a way to outhit the Montreal Canadiens — even outskate them at times — and, for the first time in three games, outscore them.
Marc Savard scored 9:25 into overtime as the Bruins prevailed 2-1 over the visiting Canadiens in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference quarter-final in front of 17,565 frenzied fans at the TD Banknorth Garden on Sunday night.
As Montreal struggled to regain possession of the puck on a delayed penalty, Savard jumped off the bench in time to bury Dennis Wideman's blind backhand pass for the decisive goal. [More from the CBC...]
