Andrew Shaw to have hearing for boarding Capitals’ Hobbs

Andrew Shaw will have yet another conversation with the league office.

The Montreal Canadiens forward has a hearing scheduled for Thursday with the NHL's Department of Player Safety following his hit on Washington Capitals prospect Connor Hobbs on Wednesday night.

Shaw was ejected from the preseason contest after driving Hobbs into the boards behind the Capitals' net late in the second period.

The Canadiens pest then fought Nathan Walker while encouraging Montreal fans to cheer for his efforts.

Shaw was handed 30 penalty minutes for his actions.

Player Safety senior vice-president Stephane Quintal told Le Journal de Montreal's Jonathan Bernier on Tuesday night that he'd seen the hit and didn't like it.
