Shaw (neck) has begun off-ice training, but has yet to resume skating and remains without a timeline to return, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Shaw hasn't been able to get on the ice yet, it's a safe bet the center won't be back in action before the All-Star break. The Ontario native was off to a strong season before getting hurt, as he registered 11 goals and 13 helpers in 36 outings. If he can pick up where he left off, the 27-year-old still has a chance at exceeding his career high 39 points, which he set in 2013-14 while with the Blackhawks.

Shaw (neck) remains sidelined with no timetable for a return, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw will miss a sixth straight game Saturday, when Montreal hosts Colorado at the Bell Centre. "For time frame, I don't know," general manager Marc Bergevin said about Shaw's injury. "We should get more news the next few days. But he's definitely a player that stepped up his game this year and we miss him." Shaw had been a nice addition to the line with Max Domi and Jonathan Drouin, a pair of players that have gone cold the last few weeks.

Shaw is dealing with a neck injury and has been designated from injured reserve, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw's placement on injured reserve clears the way for Joel Armia (knee) to be activated ahead of Thursday's meeting with Vancouver. The 27-year-old Shaw will for sure miss the Habs' next three games, but with no official timeline for his recovery, it certainly could be longer.

Shaw (upper body) did not practice Wednesday, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw suffered an upper-body injury during Monday's overtime win in Dallas and is questionable for Thursday's home game against the Canucks. He was replaced on the third line at practice by Joel Armia.

Shaw (upper body) will not return to action Monday in Dallas, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rough news for Shaw, who is in the middle of the best offensive season of his career. He is currently on pace for over 50 points, a significant increase from his career high of 39 set during the 2013-14 campaign. Hopefully the injury isn't too serious, but the team should have another update within the next day.

Shaw scored on the power play and at even strength in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Lightning. He added four shots, one hit and a minor penalty over 17:19 of ice time.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw bookended Montreal's scoring, batting home a rebound for the team's first goal and then scored the fifth goal on a one-timer off a feed from Artturi Lehkonen. Shaw has four points over the last four games, including three at even-strength while skating with new linemates.

Shaw had an assist, one shot and one hit in Friday's 5-3 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw's deft pass from behind the goal found a wide open Artturi Lehkonen, who beat Roberto Luongo to the far side for the game-winning goal. He's been moved to the third line, where his goal-scoring opportunities might be fewer, but he's going to get minutes on the power play and is establishing chemistry with developing talent like Lehkonen and Jesperi Kotkaniemi.

Shaw (personal) is back with the team and is expected to be in the lineup against Florida on Friday, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw missed practice Thursday for a family matter, but is with the team for its three-game road trip. The center is stuck in a five-game goalless streak, despite logging 17:41 of ice time per game during that stretch which includes 2:53 on the power play. Even though he is slumping, the Ontario native should continue to play big minutes.

Shaw was absent from Thursday's practice session for personal reasons.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't immediately clear how long Shaw might be away from the team and whether this will impact his availability versus the Panthers on Friday. If the winger isn't in the lineup, it will likely open the door for Charles Hudon or Matthew Peca to return to action.

Shaw scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw is on a roll in the month of December, having hit the scoresheet in six straight games, posting two goals and four assists during that run. He has 19 points over 28 games, putting him on the cusp of surpassing last year's 20 points, which took him 51 games to produce. That surge in offense is clearly the result of skating on Montreal's most proficient line, along with Max Domi and Jonathan Drouin, who assisted on Shaw's goal Thursday.
