If the team decides it needs the extra roster spots, the veteran would be a good candidate for injured reserve, considering he has already missed a week&#8217;s worth of games. Saad has scored just once in his last 22 outings while chipping in two assists and 38 shots. With the back-to-back on the schedule, it seems unlikely Saad will be cleared in time to face the Leafs on Thursday, though he hasn&#8217;t been officially ruled out.<\/p>\n<p>        More News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saad (undisclosed) will not be an option versus the Kings on Wednesday, per Sin Bin Vegas.
