The Minnesota Wild have recalled forward Mason Shaw from the AHL’s Iowa Wild, per a team announcement. The recall puts Shaw in a position to make his season debut tomorrow against the Colorado Avalanche.
Shaw, 23, was a 2017 fourth-round pick of the Wild who has spent the past four seasons developing his game at the AHL level in Des Moines. Shaw was a star as a junior player, and he finished his WHL career with a year where he had 94 points in 71 games.
At the AHL level, Shaw has combined scoring ability with physicality and snarl, and last season he had 19 goals and 52 points in 62 games to go along with 106 penalty minutes.
Last season Shaw also made his NHL debut, and he got into a total of three games. He didn’t register any points, but he made his presence known through his energy level and the fact that he got into his first NHL fight.
Now back with the big club, Shaw will likely get into some more games under his belt and look to help the Wild rebound after a tough start to their season.
How does a 5-9 “tough guy” benefit a crappy team when he’s sitting in the box?
Does everything about hockey confuse you?
I was playing hockey on the US side of the Canadian border in the 60s. I was a sports reporter and editor for over 40 years. What you got to show?
How many Olympic and professional hockey players grew up in your neighborhood?
Obviously you’ve never heard of Tie Domi or Tiger Williams. Reporting on sports doesn’t mean you know anything about them. Means you could use a typewriter and had plenty of pencils and notebooks.
Now that is funny stuff! Some of the most confused and unknowledgeable people on many topics are those that spent years writing about and pretending to know everything about those topics. Next, who your neighbors were as a kid has zero to do with what you know now. Please keep posting. Thanks.
