Toews has ‘encouraging' off-ice workout

Share

ST. LOUIS -- Jonathan Toews had a good off-ice workout in Chicago today, coach Joel Quenneville said, and he's hopeful that the Blackhawks captain can take the ice soon.

Toews has gone through his off-ice workouts back home as the Blackhawks have continued on this three-game road trip. Asked when Toews could be back on the ice, Quenneville said, "I cant give you an ideal date, but today was encouraging."

Asked if the car accident Toews had in late February had an affect, Quenneville said, "I dont think it has anything to do with where were at."

Meanwhile, Niklas Hjalmarsson is getting better but Quenneville said the defenseman is out for tomorrow night's game against the St. Louis Blues. Ray Emery will get the start in net tomorrow night.
