Andrew Shaw Out With Concussion

December 16, 2016 at 5:36 pm CDT | by Mike Furlano 2 Comments

The Montreal Canadiens announced that forward Andrew Shaw is out with a concussion after symptoms developed yesterday afternoon. He will not play tonight against the San Jose Sharks, and Sportcentre’s Amanda Stein reports that Shaw will also miss tomorrow night’s game in Washington against the Capitals.

It’s unclear whether Shaw’s concussion stems from gameplay or practice. The Canadiens last played on Monday night against the Boston Bruins, and it is possible that his symptoms remained at bay until yesterday. It is also worth noting, however, that some players refrain from reporting concussion symptoms unless it is absolutely necessary.

Shaw signed a six-year deal with the Canadiens this offseason worth an average of $3.9MM a year. His 6G and 9A in 29 games is in line with his career numbers with the Chicago Blackhawks. His value stems more from his perceived grit and energy than his hands, though he can light the lamp if necessary.

Shaw joins teammates David Desharnais (knee), Alex Galchenyuk (knee), and Greg Pateryn (ankle) on the mend as the Habs enter the holiday season. The team’s hold on 1st in the Atlantic is safe for now with a seven-point cushion, but extended absences from their star players could spell trouble.

    Also certainly from the hit to the head he took from Krug on Monday. Now Andrighetto leaves tonight’s game. Habs list of walking wounded keeps growing.

    They had a hot start last year until injuries took them out of the playoffs
