l and dished out an assist in the Blackhawks‘ 5-3 win over the Nashville Predators.Shaw said just playing with the Blackhawks was enough motivation for him."Positive,
I‘m playing in the NHL," Shaw said after Sunday‘s win. "What can‘t you be positive about? I‘ve just always worked hard."Shaw said he‘s also drawn from playing alongside Michael Frolik and Brandon Bollig on the fourth line. He‘s followed their lead."Playing
with them, they‘ve done the same thing," said Shaw, who has eight goals and five assists in 38 games this season. "They‘ve worked for everything they‘ve got. The chemistry is good between us, and we‘re going to keep it rolling."Quenneville was also pleased
with Shaw‘s performance on Sunday and how the lines have been shaping up. The fourth line produced a goal and eight shots in Sunday‘s win. The third line of Stalberg, Bickell and Michal Handzus also had a goal in Sunday‘s win."I thought he had a very good
game," Quenneville said of Shaw on Sunday. "It was nice to see the lines look like they‘re more similar and working tonight."An interesting sight Sunday was also the 5-foot-11, 180-pound Shaw mixing it up with 6-foot-7, 243-pound Hal Gill of the Predators."I
don‘t think he‘s in the right weight class on that one,Patrick
Sharp Jersey," Quenneville joked.Shaw didn‘t care, though."I‘m a smaller guy, so usually every guy I play against is bigger than me," Shaw said. "I‘ve gotten used
to it and learned to stand my ground. … Obviously, I‘ve been punched in the face a few times,Bobby
Hull Jersey Green, but it‘s never stopped me. It‘s what got me here. I got to keep doing it."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- His spotless record might be in the past, but Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Ray Emery returned to the form he displayed throughout his 12-0-0 start
to the 2013 season in Chicagos 1-0 win over the Nashville Predators on Saturday.[+] EnlargeDon McPeak/USA TODAY SportsRay Emery is now 13-1-0 this season after shutting out the Predators on Saturday.Emery made 20 saves, stood tall in the face of a frenetic
final sequence and melted down the Predators best scoring chances with a handful of big stops on his way to his second shutout of the season.Rock solid, he did what he had to do, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. I thought he was in control around the
net. Against that team, theres a lot of scrambles, a lot of loose stuff. They create traffic, and I thought he found pucks and froze them and looked very big.Emery faced only five shots in the first period, but a handful of defensive lapses opened up opportunities
for Nashville in the second and third. In the opening minutes of the second period, he stopped David Legwands backhand from the slot after defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson was stripped in his own end. Less than two minutes later, he stayed deep in his net to
deny Nick Spalings open look from the top of the crease with a glove save. Then in the final 90 seconds of the third period, he turned away all comers with the Nashville net empty and an extra attacker on the ice.Thats a tough team to play against, Emery said.
We got the lead, I thought we did a great job of keeping that lead and playing well defensively, we got a few chances and made some big saves, and we were able to just keep that one-goal lead and win with it.Playing in his first game since a 2-1 loss to Anaheim
on March 29, Emerys goals-against average dropped to 1.95 with the shutout.He was a wall back there, Bryan Bickell said. He was our best penalty-killer, and in the late part of the game,Patrick
Sharp Jersey Red, he was there. They had some tight chances, but Ray Ray said no, and I think we were happy to get the shutout for him and go back home with the
two points.
Kirk Irwin/Getty ImagesBrandon Saad has played well recently for the Chicago Blackhawks.With less than three weeks remaining in the shortened NHL season, a lot of things
are up for grabs -- including the Calder Trophy for Rookie of the Year. Montreal forward Brendan Gallagher holds on to his top billing as this year‘s potential award winner, but there continues to be a serious charge from behind by Chicago‘s Brandon Saad who
is near the top in all statistical categories and is playing some of his best hockey.Here‘s a look at how things shape up this week (statistics are through April 7).1. Brendan Gallagher, forward, Montreal CanadiensPrevious rank: No. 1Early on, much of the
talk for the Calder Trophy was centered on very high-profile rookies entering this season. When watching Gallagher, a former fifth-round pick play, you can‘t help but respect the fact that he has always overcome the odds. He‘s third in overall scoring (just
two goals behind the leader), has three game-winning goals and is an impressive plus-9. It all adds up to him potentially winning the prestigious rookie award. One pro scout recently said, "When you watch the Canadiens play now it is common place to see this
kid do special things." Standing 5-foot-9 has not stopped Gallagher from playing big. Read the story here.
