Canadiens' Shaw injured in big collision with Stars' Pateryn
Andrew Shaw was forced to exit Tuesday's game following a heavy hit on Dallas Stars defenseman Greg Pateryn.
Shaw collided with Pateryn along the boards in the third period, and the Montreal Canadiens forward went to the dressing room after being helped off the ice.
Oh man that's not good.

Pateryn was given a roughing minor for taking a couple of shots at Shaw while the Canadiens agitator laid on the ice after the hit.
One Habs player on Shaw: "I saw his eyes rolling back and he just looked like he wasn't there coming off the ice."

Canadiens head coach Claude Julien said postgame that Shaw had not been taken to hospital, and it's unclear whether he was concussed, but he was under close evaluation, according to Sportsnet's Eric Engels.
Shaw has a history of concussions, and opened up to Engels last year about trying to conceal them in the past.
