Canadiens' Shaw ejected in return for blindside hit on Rangers' Fast

Andrew Shaw didn't waste much time getting up to his old tricks.

The Montreal Canadiens pest was kicked out of his first game back from injury Saturday night after catching New York Rangers forward Jesper Fast with an ill-timed, ill-aimed hit that forced Fast out of the game late in the first period.

Shaw hit Fast behind the play and after the Rangers winger had passed the puck. J.T. Miller came to his teammate's defense and fought Shaw in the aftermath.

When the dust settled, the Canadiens agitator was assessed a five-minute major for interference, five more for fighting, and a game misconduct.

Shaw missed 14 games recovering from a concussion and was playing his first game since Dec. 12.
