Toews plans to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener versus the Avalanche, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Toews missed the entirety of the 2020-21 campaign with chronic inflammatory response syndrome, but he's looked great in training camp and during preseason action, so it isn't surprising to see him geared up for the Blackhawks' regular-season opener. Toews should exceed 20 goals and 55 points with ease if he's able to stay healthy in 2021-22.
