Toews scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Toews ended his 21-game goal drought with a second-period tally. The defenseman had also gone five contests without a point entering Tuesday's action. While the lack of offense is frustrating for fantasy managers, Toews is unlikely to slip out of a top-four role thanks to his defensive work. He has two goals, 12 assists, 55 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 34 appearances. It's been a down year for the 30-year-old blueliner, who has been more of a depth defenseman in fantasy rather than a solid No. 2 or 3.

Toews logged an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Toews has five helpers over six games in December. He continues to offer steady but not explosive offense in a top-pairing role, and he also maintains a spot on the second power-play unit. Toews is up to 12 points, 39 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 27 outings this season. He's been better -- the blueliner has reached the 50-point mark in each of the last three years, but he'll have to pick up the pace to do so in 2024-25.

Toews had two assists in a 6-2 win over the Penguins on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The offensive defender has put up 157 points in 228 games over the last three seasons. But this year has been a slog for Toews, who now has just 11 points in 26 games. It's not uncommon for players with big new contracts to struggle with the weight of performance in the first year of a new deal. But Toews has four assists in his last five games, so he may be turning a corner.

Toews posted an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Toews had gone four games without a point before helping out on Nathan MacKinnon's game-tying goal in the third period. The 30-year-old Toews doesn't always have the steadiest offense, but his top-pairing role is unlikely to change. For the season, he's contributed eight points, 30 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 22 appearances.

Toews notched two assists, three blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Toews has three helpers over his last three contests. The 30-year-old defenseman had his best game of the season Saturday, and it looks like his offense is trending in the right direction since the Avalanche have gotten close to full strength. Overall, Toews has seven points, 25 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 17 appearances, but his spot in the top four is safe.

Toews recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Toews has four points (one goal, three assists) over his last eight games. The defenseman struggled after sustaining a lower-body injury early in the campaign, but he's getting back to his usual level of production. He's now at five points, 24 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 15 appearances.

Toews scored a goal and blocked five shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Toews found the back of the net in the early stages of the second period following set-ups from Samuel Girard and T.J. Tynan. Even though Toews is a reliable presence on the blue line for the Avalanche, he has only four points in 12 regular-season outings. He'll need to pick up the pace substantially to reach the 50-point threshold for the fourth straight season.

Toews logged an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Toews has two helpers over four games in November, surpassing his point total from all of October. The defenseman has been a bit limited on offense despite playing in his usual top-pairing role when healthy this season. He's at three assists, 17 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 11 outings overall. Toews will have to pick up the pace if he's going to reach the 50-point threshold for the fourth straight year.

Toews logged an assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

The helper was Toews' first point in six games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The defenseman has maintained a top-four role, but he's recently played on the second pairing, while Samuel Girard has remained alongside Cale Makar. Toews has two assists, 11 shots on net, six blocked shots, four hits, four PIM and a minus-5 rating through eight outings in a challenging start to the campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Toews appears to be ready to return from a four-game absence in Tuesday's clash with Seattle. He has accounted for one assist, three shots on net and three blocked shots through two appearances this season. With Toews poised to play, Calvin de Haan or John Ludvig could be scratched.
