Andrew Shaw is projected to shift to the wing when Dave Bolland returns to the lineup on Wednesday night in Game 1 against Detroit.
Bolland is slated to center Chicago's third line in his 2013 playoff debut. Shaw had four points and 14 hits in five games against Minnesota in the first round.

Andrew Shaw registered an assist on Tuesday.
That gives Shaw three points in four playoff games. He brings a nice blend of offensive and physical play that the Blackhawks should find useful. His team will have a chance to advance to the second round with a win on Thursday.

Andrew Shaw had a team-high seven hits in Game 1 of Chicago's first-round series against Minnesota.
Shaw is a physical player who is capable of providing some secondary scoring. He's the type of depth forward who could be one of the unsung heroes for Chicago if they enjoy a lengthy playoff run.

Andrew Shaw will play Monday after missing Sunday's practice with the flu.
"Shaw is going to be fine," coach Joel Quenneville said. "He didn't skate (Monday) morning but we gave him some rest and he's good to go." He's projected to return to centering the team's third line between Bryan Bickell and Viktor Stalberg.

Andrew Shaw missed practice on Sunday with an illness.
Coach Joel Quenneville stated that he thought that Shaw would be able to go on Monday so we will keep him active for now. Shaw has seven goals and 11 points to go with a plus-seven rating and 24 penalty minutes this season. Consider picking him up in deeper pools as he contributes in a few categories.

Andrew Shaw (upper body) is fine to play on Friday.
Shaw left Wednesday's game after being elbowed in the face. He has 10 points and 17 penalty minutes in 24 contests this season.

Andrew Shaw's upper body injury isn't believed to be serious.

Andrew Shaw departed after the second period of Wednesday's game.
Shaw took a hit to the chin from Avs forward Paul Stasny late in the period and was visibly shaken up. He had a goal in 10:51.

Andrew Shaw has played well in his checking-line role with Chicago this season.
He has been playing between Bryan Bickell and Viktor Stalberg on the Blackhawks' third unit, where he has four goals and three assists in 19 games. Shaw has also added 15 penalty minutes and 31 hits this campaign. "[Shaw has] really progressed in the middle, and you've got to like his knowing where to go," coach Joel Quenneville said. "Offensively, defensively, he finds a way to be an influence shift to shift."

Andrew Shaw scored the only goal for the Blackhawks as they defeated the Blue Jackets on Sunday night 1-0.
Shaw scored his fourth of the season at 18:33 of the second period. Bryan Bickell and Johnny Oduya had the helpers. The Blackhawks have still yet to lose in regulation this season, as their remarkable history-setting run continues with a 15-0-3 record.

Andrew Shaw won't be suspended for his hit on Joe Pavelski on Friday.
Shaw served a two-minute boarding minor for his actions. Shaw also fought Ryane Clowe in the dying seconds of the game. Clowe has been suspended pending a hearing on Monday to determine if he left the bench illegally and if he did so with the intention of fighting Shaw.

Andrew Shaw netted a power-play goal in Chicago's 4-1 victory Friday.
Shaw also spent two minutes in the sin bin. That blend of offense and PIM should make Shaw a very desirable player as he matures. He's been hot lately, so he's worth picking up and using until he has a few pointless games in a row.

The Chicago Blackhawks' checking line has been holding their own offensively this season.
That's not surprising given that Viktor Stalberg, Andrew Shaw, and Bryan Bickell all have offensive upside. Those three have combined for seven goals and 18 points, but they're doing more than just providing some secondary scoring. "Good defense always leads to good offense," Shaw said. "We're just supporting the puck and battling for each other, and good chances have come from that. We have to compete in our own end and get pucks out. They can't score if they're not in our end. We just try to work on that aspect, and go to the net and get some dirty goals." That line's success has played a significant role in Chicago's hot 10-0-3 start.

Andrew Shaw scored his first goal of the 2013 season on Wednesday.
Shaw had 12 goals, 23 points, and 50 penalty minutes in 37 games last season. He's struggled early on in 2013, but he has the potential to be a Sean Avery-type player - a guy who can average more than a penalty minute per game while still chipping in a decent number of points. For that reason, we recommend keeping an eye on him.

The Chicago Blackhawks are happy with the play of Andrew Shaw as their third line center.
And why not as the Blackhawks are off to a 6-0 start. Shaw got a lot of experience as a third liner when he played for Rockford during the lockout. "Defensively, he's learning his own end - down low in particular," coach Joel Quenneville said. "He can continue to improve, be it his positioning or awareness. His instincts with the puck and around the puck are really good. We should see some growth in his game." Shaw has yet to get a point this season and with only one minor and an even plus/minus rating, we would pass on him in fantasy pools.

Andrew Shaw should get an opportunity to show what he can do with the man advantage.
Chicago is searching for a player that can park himself in front of the net during power plays. Shaw averaged 1:35 minutes per contest with the man advantage in 37 games last season. He's likely to get about 20-25 points while averaging more than a penalty minute per game in 2013.
