Wild winger Mason Shaw will miss rest of season with torn ACL

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:49:33 GMT

Marc-Andre Fleury knew it was really bad because, as he put it, Mason Shaw is a guy who always gets back up.But he couldn’t do that on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.After slamming awkwardly into the boards early in the game between the Wild and Vegas Golden Knights, Shaw collapsed to the ice, unable to put any weight on his right leg. He immediately nodded his head in defeat almost as if he knew exactly what had happened.Remember, this is a kid who torn his anterior cruciate ligament three separate times during his rise through the minor leagues, so, unfortunately, he’s very familiar with the feeling.This clip of Mason Shaw — the way he nods his head in defeat while crawling on the ice — is legit heartbreaking. #MNWild https://t.co/lCTviWHYmm— Dane Mizutani (@DaneMizutani) April 2, 2023The worst-case scenario was confirmed on Monday morning when the Wild announced that Shaw indeed tore his ACL and will miss the rest of the regular season...
