With center Dave Bolland shifting from the third line to the second, Andrew Shaw will step into the checking role as the No. 3 center when the NHL's shortened regular season begins today. Usually a winger, Shaw played center with Rockford of the AHL during the lockout to familiarize himself with the position. "I just have to stay focused and play good, sound defense and always be in a supporting spot for both my wingers and the defensemen," Shaw said. "I don't think I'd ever fill (Bolland's) shoes. He's a great player. I just have to do my best, go out there and work game in and game out, and hopefully good things come from it."
