EDGE Analysis

Toews set up Bowen Byram's first-period tally in the contest. The 28-year-old Toews has collected an assist in each of the first two games of the season, continuing his high-scoring ways from a year ago. He'll likely see time on the top defensive pairing and second power-play unit -- 12 of his 57 points in 66 games last year came with the man advantage.
