The probably future Corridor of Famer has been a mainstay for the Blackhawks and is likely one of the most legendary figures within the historical past of the franchise and Chicago sports activities normally, profitable three Stanley Cup titles with the group.
Toews has accrued 371 targets and 509 assists in his profession. He’ll face an interesting resolution within the offseason, nevertheless, when he is eligible to turn into a free agent. If chasing one other title is a precedence, he’ll probably transfer on, because the cellar-dwelling Blackhawks have an NHL-worst 39 factors this season and do not appear more likely to return to rivalry anytime quickly.
So it is doable that Toews has performed his final sport in Chicago for the Blackhawks. If that is the case, it was a memorable experience for the staff’s longtime captain.
