On Friday, the American Hockey League suspended Rockford IceHogs winger Andrew Shaw for 1 game in response to a boarding infraction Shaw committed in Wednesday night’s game against the Chicago Wolves.
Shaw was called for boarding by official Trent Knorr at the 15:45 mark of the second period when Shaw left his feet while finishing a check on Chicago forward Brett Sterling deep in the Wolves’ zone.
Shaw’s point of contact on Sterling appeared to be a shoulder or arm directly to the side of Sterling’s head. Sterling went down and was shaken up for a few moments but stayed in the game. Play continued on while the Wolves maintained possession of the puck.
During the delayed penalty call, Andrew Shaw retreated to the Rockford IceHogs’ bench where he walked behind the bench where the coaches stand, where he picked up a folding chair. Shaw appeared to be contemplating throwing the chair onto to the ice when he was stopped by one of the team trainers. Read more
