Toews had 12 goals and 25 assists in 71 games when he returned to action last year, and he had looked stronger this season. “We’re trying to help him get back to full strength and that’s totally secondary,” he said. “We’ll take it day by day, but the hope is that he can still play some games here down the stretch.”Īsked about moving Toews by the March 3 trade deadline, Davidson said he isn’t thinking about that. “We’re going to work with him and support him in whatever he needs to make sure he’s feeling good and feeling strong and in a spot where he can come back on the ice,” general manager Kyle Davidson said.
