Andrew Shaw to miss Game 6 with upper-body injury

NEW YORK -- Montreal Canadiens forward Andrew Shaw will not be in the lineup for Game 6 of their Eastern Conference First Round series against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Saturday (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, TVA Sports) because of an upper-body injury.

Center Brian Flynn will take Shaw's spot in the lineup and is expected to center a line with Alex Galchenyuk on left wing and Paul Byron on the right. It will be Flynn's first game of the 2017 Playoffs.

Shaw was hit hard by defenseman Dan Girardi behind the Rangers' net about seven minutes into overtime in Game 5 on Thursday. He played one more shift after the hit. The Rangers won 3-2 to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.
