Shaw made his professional debut against the Grand Rapids Griffins in October 8, 2011. In Rockford's 5-3 victory over the Peoria Rivermen on October 9, Shaw was assisting on the game-winning goal, his first professional performance point.

Shaw signed a three-year entry level deal on January 3, 2012, and was recalled by Chicago on January 4 to replace injured agitator Daniel Carcillo, his first career NHL recall. Shaw was born on January 5, 2012, his first game against the Philadelphia Flyers, and he and Zac Rinaldo became engaged on the second shift in their first fight of his NHL career. He needed stitches, but after scoring his first goal of his NHL career against Ilya Bryzgalov, he scored his first goal of his NHL career. Shaw had seven hits in the Blackhawks rookies. Shaw missed three postseason games (April 17-21) due to suspension. In four straight games from January 12 to January 18, Shaw scored goals in four straight games.

In each of Shaw's four games between them two suspensions, he scored a goal. Shaw had a goal and an assist in a 4–3 shootout victory over the Lake Erie Monsters.
Shaw rejoined the Blackhawks when the NHL season began. As the Blackhawks won the President's Trophy and advanced to the Stanley Cup playoffs and, eventually, the Stanley Cup Finals, he appeared in all 48 regular season games. Shaw had the game-winning tip-in of the first game of the Finals on June 12, 2013, giving the Blackhawks a 4–3 win over the Boston Bruins. Shawn Thornton took a puck off Shawn Thornton's stick and face in the first minute of his sixth (and final) game of the Finals. He collapsed to the ice and lay in a tiny pool of blood. Officials suspended the game and Shaw was aided to his feet and repaired in the dressing room. Shaw recovered in the second period and hoisted the Stanley Cup with his wounds still partially bleeding. Shaw revealed that he had a broken rib while playing in the Stanley Cup Finals after the season ended. Shaw earned the Stanley Cup by scoring nine points and having 35 penalty minutes in the playoffs.
Shaw intentionally headbutted the puck into the Anaheim Ducks' net in game 2 of the Western Conference Finals on May 19, 2015. In the third overtime session, the goal was called off by the game's referees, but the Blackhawks eventually won the game after a goal was scored with 3:48 remaining.
In a playoff match against the St. Louis Blues on April 19, 2016, Shaw scored one goal and two assists. Later in the same game, he yelled a homophobic insult at a referee who had been suspended for his interference. Shaw later apologised for the remarks. After the final horn, he sparked a brawl. Shaw was banned from playing for one game and fined $5,000. Shaw had four goals and two assists in the playoffs.
Shaw was traded to the Montreal Canadiens in 2016 during the NHL Entry Draft in exchange for two 2016 second-round picks. Shaw signed a six-year contract with the Canadiens worth $23.4 million three days later on June 27, just three days later. During a preseason game played on September 26, the NHL suspended Shaw for three games for boarding Connor Hobbs. On October 13, Shaw scored his first goal with the Canadiens. Shaw slew footed Johan Larsson of the Buffalo Sabres at the end of the game, sparking controversy. The incident occurred towards the end of the game, but the Canadiens had a 4–1 advantage over the Sabres. Shaw was fined a match-penalty but received no additional punishment after speaking with the Department of Player Safety.
Shaw checked Dallas Stars defenseman Greg Pateryn but he was hospitalized on the play on March 13, 2018. He injured his knee and sustained a concussion. Shaw underwent knee surgery and was forecast to miss about six months to recover.
Despite Shaw's absence from the Canadiens' training camp, he suited up for the Canadiens' 2018-19 regular season games. Shaw sustained a neck injury in a game against the New York Islanders on December 31 that kept him out of the lineup for 15 games. On February 9, 2019, against the Toronto Maple Leafs, he returned to the Montreal bench. Shaw won by 8–1 over the Detroit Red Wings on February 26, 2019, his first hat trick in his career.
Shaw (alongside a 2021 seventh-round pick) was traded to the Blackhawks in exchange for 2020 second and seventh-round picks and a 2021 third-round pick. Shaw sustained a concussion during a game against the Colorado Avalanche on November 30, and was placed on injured reserve. Since the team announced that he would not return on February 29, 2020, the player effectively ended his season after 26 games. Shaw opted out of playing the remainder of the season (which had been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic), citing a desire to recover from the concussion.
Shaw sustained his second concussion in a game against the Dallas Stars on February 9, 2021. Shaw announced his effective retirement on April 26, after being told by the team doctors that he would not return to his playing career due to multiple concussions.
