Toews netted an even-strength goal and a secondary assist in Tuesday night's 3-2 overtime home win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
An established two-way veteran, Toews is up to 22 points (nine goals, 13 assists) through 31 games this season. Neither of his points took place on the man advantage in this latest contest, but he's averaging an eye-popping 3:42 of ice time in that special teams situation this season, which is the most he's had since the 2008-09 campaign. Owning Toews is a luxury in fantasy since he's such a low maintenance player.

Toews had a goal Wednesday in a 6-2 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Toews has now found the scoresheet in three straight games. That's the good news for the center. The bad news for him is the Hawks have now lost five in a row. That won't affect anything for fantasy purposes, of course, but owners will care that he's a bit behind in terms of where his numbers usually are at a third of the way through the year. Right now, he remains a solid option even if he's not as dominant as usual this season.

Toews potted his seventh goal of the season in Sunday's loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
It was the first goal in five contests for Toews, who was credited with six shots on goal Saturday night against Dallas. The first-line center is once again on track for another season in the 50-60 point range. Toews has also aided fantasy goers with 22 PIM through 27 contests and remains a threat with the man advantage, making him valuable in many fantasy formats. You know what you're getting with the two-way stud.

Toews recorded a three-point game Saturday in a 4-1 win over the Panthers. He scored a goal and added two assists.
EDGE Analysis
He hasn't had many multi-point outings this season, so this explosion was nice to see. Toews is warming up -- he has six points in his last six games. And his 16 points in 22 games project to another 58-point season.

Toews has only potted one goal in his last 13 contests.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old pivot has picked it up a bit lately, notching one goal and two assists in his last 6 games, but his four goals and seven assists in 18 matches this campaign is pretty disappointing. Toews will look to snap his five-game scoring drought Wednesday in a favorable home matchup with a Rangers club that's allowing an average of 4.20 goals per game on the road this season, 30th in the NHL.

Toews scored in the second period of a 3-0 win over Philadelphia on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
After three games without a point, Toews needed to bounce back in a big way. One goal isn't a big bounce back, but it is a step forward for him, and this should be a sign of more consistent performances from the star moving forward.

Toews collected two assists in Saturday's win over Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
That's eight points in nine games for the Captain, who snapped a three-game pointless drought. Toews remains one of the most valuable fantasy centers in the game and should be an automatic roll every night.

Toews scored his third goal of the season in Thursday's loss to the Wild. He's started the season with a five-game point streak.
EDGE Analysis
After posting his lowest goal total in three seasons in 2016-17, Toews has gotten off to a hot start this year, racking up six points through five contests. The top-line center has been reunited with former teammate Brandon Saad and is playing with tons of ferocity that makes him seem destined for a bounce-back campaign. Toews is already a must-own fantasy commodity, but if he returns to his 30-goal potential, that's an even bigger plus for his fantasy owners.

Toews (lower body) participated in line rushes during morning skate, indicating he'll be in the lineup for Thursday's regular-season opener against Pittsburgh, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toews sustained a minor lower-body injury during the Blackhawks' final exhibition contest, but he was never expected to miss Thursday's game. The 29-year-old pivot will center the Blackhawks' first line and top power-play unit against the Penguins.

Toews suffered a lower-body injury Saturday against the Penguins, but is expected to be fine, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
It wouldn't be surprising if Toews was held out of some of Saturday's preseason finale as a precaution given coach Quenneville's comments on the matter. Regardless, the team should update its captain's status ahead of Thursday's preseason opener against the Penguins.
