Karier awal (1993-1999)

Savard played a major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) with General Oshawa, beginning in 1993-94. After his second season with the Generals, where he scored a league that led 139 points, he was selected 91th overall in the NHL Sign In Draft in 1995 by the New York Rangers. He continued playing in the OHL for two more seasons and won his second Eddie Powers Memorial Cup as the league's leading scorer in 1996-97 with 130 points. Savard then added 27 points in 15 playoff games, guiding the Generals to the Robertson J. Ross Cup 1997 and appearance at the 1997 Memorial Cup.

In 1997-1998, Savard was assigned by Rangers to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, Hartford Wolfpack. He posted 74 points with Hartford while called to play in 28 games for Rangers in his rookie professional campaign. The following season, he gained an expanded role with Rangers and recorded 45 points in 70 games.

Calgary Flames (1999-2002)

On 26 June 1999, shortly after the completion of Savard's first full season with Rangers, he traded to the Calgary Flames, along with Rangers' first-choice round in 1999 (Oleg Saprykin), in exchange for rights to Jan Hlavac, first-round pick from Calgary ( Jamie Lundmark) and third round pick (later redeemed to Calgary, Calgary voted Craig Anderson) in the 1999 bill. Savard continued to improve with the Flames and in 2000-01, he finished second in the team scoring against Jarome Iginla with 65 points.

Atlanta Thrashers (2002-2006)

Shortly after starting his fourth season with the Flames, he was acquired by Atlanta Thrashers from Calgary in exchange for Ruslan Zainullin on 15 November 2002. Playing with wing superstars Dany Heatley and Ilya Kovalchuk, Savard became a point-per-game player and recorded 52 points in 45 matches during a brief 2003-04 season injury.

Due to the NHL lockout of 2004-05, Savard played in the Swiss league with HC Thurgau from Nationalliga B and briefly with SC Bern of Nationalliga A. When the NHL played back in the following season, he emerged as top talent in the NHL with a career-high of 97 points, good for the overall ninth in the league.

Boston Bruins (2006-2011)

At the end of the breakthrough season, he became an unbound free agent and signed with Boston Bruins for a four-year contract, $ 20 million on July 1, 2006. He took his abandoned place in Atlanta and led the Bruins in scoring in his first season with the team, count 96 points. 74 assists are good for third in the league for the second season in a row behind Joe Thornton (92) and Sidney Crosby (84).

In his second season with the Bruins, Savard was named for his first NHL All-Star Game in 2008, replacing the injured Dany Heatley. He scored the winning goal with 21 seconds remaining in the third period. Although Savard's offensive production was reduced to 78 points due to injury in the 2007-08 season, he made his debut in the Stanley Cup after 11 seasons in the NHL. When the Bruins faced the Montreal Canadiens in the opening round, Savard scored his first NHL playoff goal in the first overtime of the third game. He counted 6 points in the series, but the Bruins were eliminated by Canadiens in 7 games.

Savard was set as reserve for his second All-Star match in Montreal the following season, in 2008-09 and helped lead the Bruins to first place in the Eastern Conference. Savard led the Bruins in scoring with 88 points in 82 matches before adding 13 points in 11 post-season games. Playing Canadiens in the first half for the second year in a row, Savard and the Bruins swept the series in four games. He advanced to the second round for the first time in his career, where the Bruins were eliminated in seven games by the Carolina Hurricanes.

Seven games into the 2009-10 season, Savard suffered a broken leg while inadvertently blocking the shot. After she was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, tests showed she had been playing with an injured leg since taking a previous shot at the foot during the training camp. Savard placed on long-term injury reserves on October 21, 2009. Shortly after returning to the line-up, the Bruins signed Savard into a seven-year extension on December 1, valued at $ 28.05 million (about $ 4.2 million per season). The deal is spread out with about $ 14 million in the first two years and $ 14 million for the remaining five.

On January 7, 2010, just 28 seconds into his first shift on ice, Marc Savard suffered a right knee injury after colliding with Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks. After getting an MRI, he was placed in an injured wound with a small MCL tear in his right knee. No surgery required.

On March 7, 2010, Savard suffered a Class 2 concussion in the third period of the Bruins game against the Pittsburgh Penguins after getting the shoulder from Matt Cooke. The on-ice officials did not punish Cooke for the attack, and on March 10, Colin Campbell stated that the league would not suspend or fine Matt Cooke. The blows and consequences are part of the key that causes the NHL to institutionalize new rules that punish more blindside hits. Savard was not taken to the hospital after the incident but remained at a hotel in Pittsburgh for the night before returning to Boston the next day. Savard recovered enough to be cleared to play for postseason 2010 against the Philadelphia Flyers after their victory against Buffalo Sabers. He scored the winning goal in extra time in the Serie A Bruins game.

Savard was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome during the next off-season, losing the first 23 games of the 2010-11 season. Despite eventually returning, Savard's performance was moderately muffled.

On January 23, 2011, Savard suffered a second concussion on Bruin's former blowout Matt Hunwick in a game against Colorado Landslide. On February 8, 2011, the Bruins voted to close the Savards down for the season after he received his second concussion in ten months. The Bruins went on to win the Stanley Cup, beating Vancouver Canucks in seven games. Because of the recurring symptoms of post-concussion syndrome, Savard can not travel to Vancouver to take part in an ice-winning celebration with his colleagues, but he can rejoin them in Boston for an official victory parade.

Despite not playing the number of matches required for his name to be automatically inserted into the Stanley Cup sculpture, Bruins petitioned the league to include Savard's name in the Cup. Savard enjoyed his personal day with the Stanley Cup on August 1, 2011, in his hometown of Peterborough, Ontario; at the time, he announced that he still suffered the effects of his injury. On August 31, 2011, it was announced that Savard had been closed for the 2011-12 season by GM Peter Chiarelli. Chiarelli was quoted as saying, "Based on what I see, what I hear, what I read, and what I say, it's very unlikely that Marc will play again". On 12 September 2011, Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli announced that Savard's name would be included in the Stanley Cup, as he missed the game just because of an injury.

On July 1, 2015, his contract with the Bruins was included in Reilly Smith's trade to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Jimmy Hayes due to salary conditions.

On June 10, 2016, his contract was once again traded, this time to the New Jersey Devils. He traded along with a second-round pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft in return for Paul Thompson and Graham Black. Savard officially announced his retirement on January 22, 2018, about seven years after he played his last game.
