Shaw missed practice on the weekend and this morning because of an illness, but he will be in the lineup tonight. He has 11 points in 30 games this season, he is much more useful in real hockey than he is in fantasy.
Shaw left Tuesday's game with an upper-body injury, but the injury was obviously minor and he will play tonight. Shaw is a big-part of the Blackhawks success having chipped in six goals and four assists in 24 games as a third-line center.
Chicago Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw has been suspended for three games for charging Phoenix Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith during Game 2 of the teams' Western Conference Quarterfinal playoff series Saturday night in Phoenix, the National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety announced today.
We all expected some discipline to come down on Shaw and 3 games leaves him out until Game 6.
Shaw moves up to the top PP unit. The rookie has taken Dan Carcillo's place as the top agitator on the team while chipping in four goals in seven games.
