Andrew Shaw
On May 19, 2015, in the second overtime of game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, Shaw deliberately headbutted the puck into the Anaheim Ducks' net. The goal was waved off by the game's referees, but the Blackhawks eventually won the game after a goal was scored with 3:48 remaining in the third overtime period.
On April 19, 2016, Shaw recorded one goal and two assists in a playoff game against the St. Louis Blues. Later in the same game, he shouted a homophobic slur towards a referee who had penalized him for interference. Shaw later apologized for the remarks. He also instigated a brawl after the final horn. The NHL suspended Shaw for one game and fined him $5,000. Shaw finished the playoffs with four goals and two assists.
On June 24, 2016, Shaw was traded to the Montreal Canadiens during the 2016 NHL Entry Draft in exchange for two 2016 second-round picks. Three days later on June 27, Shaw came to a six-year contract agreement with the Canadiens worth $23.4 Million. The NHL suspended Shaw for three games for boarding Connor Hobbs during a preseason game played on September 26. Shaw scored his first goal with the Canadiens on October 13. Controversy ensued Shaw again when he slew footed Johan Larsson of the Buffalo Sabres at the end of the same game. The incident occurred towards the end of the game while the Canadiens had a 4–1 lead over the Sabres. Shaw was assessed a match-penalty, but did not receive any supplemental discipline after meeting with the Department of Player Safety.
On March 13, 2018, Shaw checked Dallas Stars defenseman Greg Pateryn but was injured on the play. He injured his knee and suffered a concussion. As a result, Shaw underwent knee surgery and was expected to miss around six months to recover.
Although Shaw missed the Canadiens training camp, he suited up during their 2018–19 regular season games. However, Shaw suffered a neck injury on December 31 in a game against the New York Islanders which kept him out of the lineup for 15 games. He returned to the Montreal bench on February 9, 2019, against the Toronto Maple Leafs. On February 26, 2019, Shaw scored his first career hat trick in an 8-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings.
On June 30, 2019, the Montreal Canadiens traded Shaw back to the Chicago Blackhawks along with a seventh-round pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft in exchange for Chicago's second-round and seventh-round picks in 2020 and third-round pick in 2021.
