Former Blackhawk center Andrew Shaw was back in Chicago Sunday evening to play the Blackhawks for the first time since he was traded to the Montreal Canadiens this past offseason.
Shaw, 25, saw action for the Blackhawks for five seasons between 2011-12 and 2015-16, collecting 70 goals and 137 total points. He was known for his aggressive style of play and frequent involvement in fights (Shaw was in three fights in 2015-16 alone, per Hockey Fights.)
Shaw gave our own Scott Powers lengthy ‘exit interview’ last spring upon his departure, discussing, among other things, his suspension in last year’s Stanley Cup playoffs, the transition to Canadian life and his favorite Blackhawks teammates.
