One of the Chicago Blackhawks’ grittiest forwards has been out of commission for over a year. Thankfully, though, the team got some much-needed positivity today.

It appears that Chicago Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw is ready to return to play, just in time for the beginning of the 2021 season. This is definitely welcomed news in the wake of Kirby Dach being sidelined with a broken wrist and Jonathan Toews battling an undisclosed illness.

Shaw’s condition was discussed by general manager Stan Bowman on the latest episode of the Blackhawks Talk Podcast.
