Toews (head) has been cleared to play Saturday against the Islanders, Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Though it was initially feared that Toews suffered a concussion after taking a hard hit in Thursday's game, it appears the center escaped a serious head injury. He was back on the ice for Friday's morning skate and endured no troubling symptoms, allowing doctors to greenlight his return to the lineup. The top-line center has 11 goals and 23 points through the Blackhawks' first 29 games.

The good news is that Toews (head) traveled to New York for Saturday's game against the Islanders, but he is still questionable for the game after going head first into the boards after a push by Bruins' Dennis Seidenberg, Chicago Blackhawks website reports.
After Thursday's game Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said the captain is okay, but did not elaborate while the Blackhawks did not practice on Friday. Toews has a history of concussions so the fact that he traveled from Boston to New York is a good sign.

Toews, who suffered a possible head injury in the second period Thursday night, appears to be okay, according to Blackhawks' coach Joel Quenneville after the game.
Quenneville though said that they will know more on Friday about the extent of Toews' injury. Toews took a hit from Bruins' Dennis Seidenberg in the second period and was seen shaking his head that could be considered a possible concussion. He did not return for the third period, but the Blackhawks said that it was just a precautionary measure.

Toews went to the Blackhawks dressing room near the end of the second period, Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Toews was reportedly shaking his head in the penalty box after taking a hit, and ended up leaving the Blackhawks's and heading for the dressing room. The team will likely provide an update on his status at some point in the near future.

Toews scored a power-play goal, added an assist and went plus-1 with two PIM in Tuesday's victory over the Habs.
Usually close to a point-per-game performer, Toews has been off to an inconsistent start this year, but he's now pushed his point total to 10 in 13 games. We're still looking for a little more from the star center, but it's good to see him pot his first power-play marker of the year.

Toews scored his third and fourth goals of the year Thursday in a shootout win over the Senators.
He'd been off to a bit of a quiet start, so it's nice to see Toews break out with his second multi-point game of the season. We know the talent is there, so assuming he stays healthy enough to play 80 games, Toews could quite conceivably exceed 70 points for the second time in his career.
