Montreal Canadiens forward Andrew Shaw will miss the team's next three pre-season games after the NHL suspended him Thursday for hitting Washington defence prospect Connor Hobbs face-first into the end boards in Tuesday's contest. Shaw was assessed 20 penalty minutes and a game misconduct following the incident that occurred at 17:50 of the second period in Montreal. The Washington bench was visibly irate as Shaw skated past Capitals players to the dressing room. At the time, Bergevin told NHL.com he wanted players "who don't like to lose" and when they do it hurts and "it gets them inside. What Bergevin and the Canadiens don't want, however, is Shaw missing games to suspension.
