Shaw (concussion) is retiring from the NHL.

EDGE Analysis

Concussions have forced the 29-year-old winger into an early retirement, but Shaw enjoyed a fruitful career before the unfortunate run-in with injuries. He captured a pair of Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks and finishes his career with 116 goals and 247 points in 544 games spread over 10 seasons; seven with Chicago and three with Montreal.

Shaw (concussion) was placed on long-term injured reserve Friday.

EDGE Analysis

According to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times, general manager Stan Bowman told reporters doctors will determine if Shaw will be able to continue playing once he "starts feeling better from his concussion," but at this point it seems as though the 29-year-old forward may be forced into an early retirement. If that ends up being the case, the two-time Stanley Cup champion will hang up his skates having amassed 116 goals, 131 assists and 573 PIM in 544 career appearances.

Shaw (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw missed most of the 2019-20 campaign with a concussion, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss extended time with his latest head injury. The 29-year-old forward has picked up four points through 14 games this campaign.

Shaw has entered the league's concussion protocol, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is brutal news for Shaw, who missed the majority of the 2019-20 campaign with a concussion. For now, the feisty winger should be considered out indefinitely. With Shaw no longer in the mix, Mattias Janmark could see additional opportunities on Chicago's No. 1 power-play unit going forward.

Shaw scored a power-play goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw's tally came in the dying seconds of the first period to give the Blackhawks a 3-1 lead. While that advantage didn't hold up, Chicago won in the end. The 29-year-old Shaw has two goals and two assists in 12 games, and all of his offense has come with the man advantage. He's added 23 shots, 20 hits and six PIM.

Shaw scored a power-play goal and doled out two hits in Friday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw's third-period goal gave the Blackhawks a 3-0 lead. It was his first tally of the year. The 29-year-old forward has added an assist, 10 hits, 11 shots on goal and a minus-3 rating through five contests. While he's still a physical presence on the third line, Shaw doesn't score like he used to. He's worth a look in deeper formats due to his usage on the power play.

Shaw has one assist and four shots on goal in three games this season.

EDGE Analysis

Since scoring a career-high 47 points during the 2018-19 campaign, Shaw has just 11 points in 29 games over the last two seasons with Chicago. The Blackhawks have scored just five goals in three games to open the season so the 29-year-old isn't alone with his lack of offense. Unless he moves into the top-six, Shaw could post disappointing scoring numbers again this season.

According to general manager Stan Bowman, Shaw (concussion) has been medically cleared ahead of training camp, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw only appeared in 26 games with the Blackhawks last season before missing the rest of the year with a concussion, picking up 10 points while racking up 74 hits over that span. It remains to be seen what kind of role the feisty forward will have in 2020-21, so virtual managers should plan on taking a wait-and-see approach with Shaw.

Shaw (concussion) indicated Monday on Instagram that he intends to return for the 2020-21 season, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw sat out all but 26 games in 2019-20 due to a concussion and admitted that he had battled with concussions the previous season as well. While it may not spell an end to his career at this point, it certainly put him more in danger of longer absences should future incidents occur. For now, Shaw is gearing up for a return to the Blackhawks in next season after compiling 10 points (three goals, seven assists) over an injury-shortened campaign this year.

Shaw (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2020-21 campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw has already been sidelined for three months due to a concussion, and he's evidently still experiencing symptoms. The 28-year-old forward will finish the campaign having notched three goals and seven assists in 26 games.
