Minnesota Wild forward Mason Shaw's career may be over before it truly got started. The twenty-four-year-old from Wainwright, AB suffered what looked like a serious knee injury this past Saturday during the Wild's game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
The play five minutes into the first period seemed harmless enough as Shaw didn't appear to receive much contact however, he propelled himself into the board awkwardly after losing an edge backchecking into his own zone.
While most knee injuries simply require surgery and rehab, this it the 4th time Shaw has torn his ACL, which makes this situation that much more difficult to overcome.
However, if there is anyone who can get back to the NHL it is certainly Shaw. At the end of this season Shaw is scheduled to be a restricted free agent and given this injury Shaw's situation will get much trickier.
