Toews briefly exited Saturday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes because of an upper-body injury, but returned to the game late in the third period. However, he did not play on Sunday and has been sidelined since, with a return in two weeks being the "best case" scenario. The 31-year-old Toews is averaging 22:20 time-on-ice and has 13 points (1G / 2A) in 40 games this season.
