Toews will miss the All-Star game due to illness, resulting in a automatic one-game suspension from the NHL, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Toews will miss the Blackhawks' Feb. 2 meeting with the Avalanche due to an NHL rule that mandates that any player that sits out the All-Star game must also sit out the team's first contest following the break. The center ended January on a five-game scoring drought and will have to wait a little longer for his chance to stop his skid.
