Shaw delivered three hits in 13:29 of ice time -- including 3:29 on the power play -- in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw was held out of Montreal's last two contests while dealing with an illness. It appears he's fully healthy now, with 13:29 of ice time being his second-highest total so far this season.

Shaw (illness) will play Saturday versus the Senators, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw has been relatively productive in a bottom-six role this season, notching two points and eight shots on goal in four games. He gets power-play minutes as well, but averaging just 11:45 per game makes him tough to rely on.

Shaw (flu) will miss Wednesday's contest versus St. Louis, John Lu of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will be the second game Shaw misses, as he continues working his way back from an illness. The rugged forward practiced Tuesday, giving his owners some hope that he'd be ready to go for Wednesday's game but it turns out he will not be able to answer the bell. Shaw's next opportunity for a return comes Saturday in Ottawa.

Shaw (flu) was back on the ice Tuesday after missing Monday's win over the Red Wings, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw skated on the fifth practice line but should be on the fourth line if he's ready to go Wednesday against the Blues.

Shaw is questionable for Monday's game against the Red Wings with the flu, John Lu of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthew Peca was skating with Shaw's normal line during Monday morning's practice, while Shaw was absent. As such, it feels unlikely that the 27-year-old will be in the lineup against Detroit. Expect Peca to play, although neither of these two fourth-line forwards has much of a fantasy upside.

Shaw had one shot and was minus-1 over 8:44 of ice time in Saturday's shootout win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw has started the season on the fourth line, so we've come to expect diminished ice time relative to the forwards on the top three lines, but this was the first time he had fewer than 10 minutes. Coach Claude Julien typically likes to roll four lines, but that was not the case Saturday. The silver lining is that Shaw gets time on the second power-play unit -- he's averaging 2:44 per game -- which could salvage potential offensive value for fantasy owners.

Shaw had three shots, three hits and a 10-minute misconduct penalty over 12:12 of ice time in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw was the lone Canadien to get a puck past Kings goalie Jack Campbell, but the score was reversed on a challenge for goalie interference. It would have been the second of the season for Shaw, who is being brought along slowly on the fourth line after coming back from knee surgery a couple of weeks ahead of schedule.

Shaw had three shots, a blocked shot, one hit and scored a power-play goal over 12:03 of ice time in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw came back on the early side after undergoing knee surgery in April and was eased back into action, skating on the fourth line. In time, as he gets his skates under him, we expect Shaw to get more ice time on one of the upper three lines.

Shaw is healthy and ready for the season opener Wednesday versus Toronto, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

This news will have a trickle-down effect for the Canadiens, who now have to make a roster move to make room for Shaw. Limited to 51 games a season ago, the rugged forward tallied 20 points and must improve his production in 2018-19. The first step in doing so involves staying healthy, something Shaw has struggled with in recent years.

Shaw (knee) took to the ice with his teammates Saturday morning, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Habs will play one more preseason game, as they're in Ottawa for a Saturday evening clash against the Senators. Expected to return in late October, Shaw appears to be trending in the right direction.
