Blackhawks' Shaw suspended 1 game for slur

CHICAGO -- Chicago Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw was suspended one game and ordered to undergo sensitivity training after uttering an anti-gay slur from the penalty box to someone on the ice in Chicago's Game 4 loss at home to the St. Louis Blues.

Shaw was also fined $5,000 for "directing an inappropriate gesture" at the on-ice officials.

"While Mr. Shaw was apologetic and remorseful for both the offensive comments and the inappropriate gesture directed at the on-ice officials, he must be held accountable for his actions," NHL senior executive vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell said in a statement.
