We simply can’t ignore the contributions by the most recent addition the duo, Andrew Shaw. He’s turned a line that was overachieving into a trio that is creating a sustainable impact for the Canadiens. But since Shaw’s arrival, the line has started controlling the majority of the shots, goals and high-danger goals. Beyond the numbers, he provides a physical presence that is actually conducive to scoring goals. Simply put, the Domi-Drouin combination had potential, but was on a downward trend and headed for a major regression before Shaw joined their line.
