Savard makes an entrance

BOSTON — Obviously just 35 minutes away from making his regular season debut, Bruins center Marc Savard took the ice — alone — for warm-ups.

Starting goaltender Tim Thomas, who usually leads the team onto the ice, pulled a U-turn at the door in order to let Savard take a quick spin on his own before the rest of the team emerged onto the TD Garden ice.

Here are the lines and D pairs as per warm-ups:

Lucic-Krejci-Horton

Wheeler-Bergeron-Recchi

Seguin-Savard-Ryder

Marchand-Campbell-Thornton

Chara-Ference

Seidenberg-Boychuk

Stuart-McQuaid
