TORONTO - Bruins centre Marc Savard is on his way home to Boston where he is slated to meet with a concussion specialist after taking a blindsided hit from Penguins forward Matt Cooke during a game Sunday.
Savard spent the night at his Pittsburgh hotel along with a member of the team's medical staff while the rest of the Bruins travelled on to Toronto.
A team spokesman said it was a good sign that Savard was able to eat Monday.
Savard had just taken a shot from above the circles when Cooke raised his shoulder and struck Savard in the head.
Savard was on the ice for several minutes, being attended to by a Penguins team doctor, before being carried off. No penalty was called on the play.
The Bruins play the Maple Leafs on Tuesday in Toronto.
