Shaw’s play at center has Bowman’s attention Feb 4, 2013 12:00 AM
Andrew Shaw isn't off to the greatest start as the Blackhawks' third line center points-wise, but that's apparently not a problem with general manager Stan Bowman. "If anything, he's been effective," Bowman said. "Looking at the way that he plays, he's got that ability with his speed, he's always around the puck. The way that he plays with his disruptive style, maybe we haven't noticed it that much because he's been focused on being a reliable player. Shaw has a goal and 2 assists in nine games and is plus-2. He scored his only goal last week at Minnesota.
