Toews Welcomed Back to Chicago With Prolonged Ovation as Blackhawks Blank Jets 2-0

The night paired a prolonged tribute to the former captain with a Spencer Knight shutout that snapped Winnipeg’s five-game point streak.

Overview

  • The United Center honored Jonathan Toews with a first-period highlight video that drew more than three minutes of continuous cheering as he circled the ice.
  • Chicago won 2-0 behind Spencer Knight’s 32-save shutout and Jason Dickinson’s second-period goal, halting the Blackhawks’ three-game skid.
  • Connor Bedard secured the victory with an empty-net goal, his first since returning from a right shoulder injury.
  • Winnipeg’s regulation loss ended a five-game point streak and left the Jets three points behind the Blackhawks in the standings.
  • After extended absences for long COVID–related issues, Toews arrived on a recent scoring surge but was held without a point in a little over 18 minutes.
