Toews (upper body) will miss Thursday's game in Montreal, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Toews hasn't been in the lineup since Jan. 3 because of the injury. He has a goal, 13 points, 18 PIM, 14 hits and 58 blocks in 40 outings in 2025-26. His next opportunity to play will come Saturday in Detroit.

Toews (upper body) is day-to-day but will not suit up for Wednesday's contest in Ottawa, according to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

EDGE Analysis

Rawal noted that Toews has yet to take contact in practice, so it seems unlikely the left-shot blueliner will be available for the second half of Colorado's back-to-back in Montreal on Thursday, though that has yet to be made official. The Avalanche currently have only five healthy defensemen on their roster, so a player will be brought up from the minors prior to Wednesday's game.

Toews (upper body) won't play against Toronto on Sunday, per Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.

EDGE Analysis

He will miss his 10th straight game. According to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette, Toews accompanied the Avalanche on the team's four-game road trip, which ends against Detroit on Saturday. Toews has contributed one goal, 13 points, 68 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a plus-26 rating across 40 appearances this season.

Toews (upper body) will not be available for the Avalanche's next two games, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Toews is reportedly getting close to making his return, but he's unlikely to be an option for Wednesday's game against Anaheim and Friday's matchup against Philadelphia. The blueliner has already missed seven games due to his upper-body injury. Prior to his absence, Toews had a 15-game goal drought during which he generated five assists, 33 shots and 25 blocks.

Head coach Jared Bednar conveyed Tuesday that Toews (upper body) is week-to-week, according to Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.

EDGE Analysis

Bednar also said that a best-case scenario for Toews' return timeline might be two weeks. Toews has been a durable player over the last few years, but he'll now likely miss more than six regular-season games for the first time since 2021-22. The Avalanche will probably bring up a defenseman from the AHL in the near future to help offset Toews' injury.

Head coach Jared Bednar said Sunday that Toews (upper body) is going to miss some time, according to Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.

EDGE Analysis

Toews was injured Saturday against the Hurricanes and missed his first game of the season Sunday versus the Panthers. Ilya Solovyov entered Sunday's lineup due to Toews' injury, and the former should receive consistent playing time on the third pairing while Toews is sidelined. Samuel Girard will likely continue to skate next to Cale Makar for the duration of Toews' absence.

Toews (upper body) isn't expected to play against Florida on Sunday, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

He has produced one goal, 12 assists, 68 shots on net and 58 blocked shots across 40 appearances this season. With Toews unavailable, Ilya Solovyov will play against the Panthers on Sunday.

Toews notched an assist, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Blues.

The 31-year-old's offense has been down all season, but he remains firmly in a top-pairing role.
