Overview

  • Toews, 37, plays his former team in Chicago tonight after first facing the Blackhawks in Winnipeg on Oct. 30.
  • He has 7 goals and 11 assists in 47 games for the Jets this season, with a four-game goal streak ending in Saturday’s overtime loss.
  • Chicago staged a “Banner Years” gathering of 2010–15 Stanley Cup alumni over the weekend, creating a nostalgic setting for his return.
