Sharks forward Tommy Wingels, a member of the You Can Play project, said Wednesday he was disappointed Chicago’s Andrew Shaw used an anti-gay slur the night before in the Blackhawks’ game against the St. Louis Blues.
Shaw was suspended one game by the NHL on Wednesday afternoon for making use of a homophobic slur late in the third period of Tuesday’s Game 4 between the St. Louis Blues and Blackhawks at United Center. He was also fined $5,000 for making an inappropriate gesture toward the on-ice officials, and will be required to undergo sensitivity training.

After he was called for interference with 2:04 left, Shaw was seen yelling the anti-gay slur at someone the ice while he was sitting in the penalty box.
