The Lightning have acquired David Savard in a three-way trade for a 2021 first-round pick and a 2022 third-round pick.

The Lightning are making a habit of picking up big, rugged players at the trade deadline. Tampa Bay has been relying on Luke Schenn, Cal Foot and Ben Thomas as their sixth defenseman but that spot now belongs to Savard. He will likely skate with either Ryan McDonagh or Mikhail Sergachev at 5v5.
