MONTREAL - Forward Andrew Shaw agreed to a six-year contact with the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night.
Shaw scored 14 goals and registered 34 points in 78 games last season. He also was a standout during the playoffs, posting six points -- including four goals -- in six games.
He was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday via trade.
“We are very pleased to have agreed to a long-term deal with Andrew Shaw,” said general manager Marc Bergevin. “As I mentioned last Friday following his acquisition, we are adding a solid character player to our team, a reliable player who plays with grit and a two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Chicago Blackhawks over the past five seasons.
