Jonathan Toews felt honored to be considered for Team Canada's captaincy. Toews was named an alternate captain and Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby will wear the 'C' at the Sochi Games. Crosby reached out to Toews because he "wanted to make sure it was OK" and the Chicago captain appreciated the gesture. He should provide the team with strong leadership regardless of what letter he has on his jersey.

Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews helped his fantasy owners in an unexpected way Sunday, receiving a 10-minute misconduct for throwing his stick over the glass. The 25-year-old came into Sunday with just 16 PIM in 50 games on the season. His career-high for PIM is 51 from 2008-09.

Jonathan Toews extended his point streak to five games in Saturday's 2-1 overtime defeat. Toews had an assist to give him 16 goals and 46 points in 47 games this season. It will be close, but there's a decent chance that he'll surpass his previous career-high of 76 points.

Jonathan Toews scored a goal for Chicago in a 3-2 loss to the Rangers Wednesday. The power play tally was the 16th marker of the year for the Chicago captain, who has registered five points in four contests. Brandon Bollig scored the other Blackhawks' goal in the losing effort.

Jonathan Toews thinks he could be a good team captain for Canada in the 2014 Winter Olympics. Toews has of course helped lead the Chicago Blackhawks to two Stanley Cup championships over the span of four seasons. "I just think about doing my job here in Chicago," Toews said. "As captain, there are things I want to improve on every single day. You worry about that job No. 1, and if that (Team Canada) opportunity ever comes around, then I like to think I'm as prepared as they come for it." His main competition for the role might prove to be Sidney Crosby, who also has experience leading and will be the team's biggest offensive threat.

Chicago has dropped three straight games. The silver lining is that they've lost all of those games by just a goal and managed to at least get a consolation point versus Anaheim on Friday. "You can't overreact to it, but you have to keep improving on the little things you do well as a team," Jonathan Toews said. "A lot of the wins we've had, especially on that road trip, were close games. We found ways to win, whether it was protecting a lead or coming back from a goal (down) or two." Chicago will try to bounce back against Florida on Sunday. Meanwhile, they have a four-point lead in the Central Division title race, but have played in four more games than the second place St. Louis Blues.

Playing in front of hometown fans in Winnipeg, Jonathan Toews had a fantastic night in Chicago's 6-3 win over the Jets Thursday. The Blackhawks captain scored a goal and added three helpers to his stat line while also picking up three shots on goal and a plus-3 rating. The Hawks also received contributions from Brandon Saad, Patrick Sharp, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa and Ben Smith in the winning effort.

Jonathan Toews had a goal and an assist to help push Chicago past Dallas on Saturday. Toews has nine goals and 16 points in 17 contests in 2013-14. He's likely to maintain his pace of roughly a point-per-game.

Jonathan Toews netted his eighth goal to open the scoring in Chicago's 4-1 win over Winnipeg on Wednesday night. He was also dynamite in the faceoff circle, where he won 15-of-17 draws. Toews has 14 points in 16 games this season, which has him tied for the club lead with Patrick Kane. Kane potted his ninth goal of the year in Wednesday's win.

Jonathan Toews' impressive five-game point streak came to an end in his homecoming to Winnipeg on Saturday. Toews had five goals and four assists in that run, with Oct. 29's hat trick + assist performance against Ottawa being the highlight. Toews had a +1 rating and two SOG in 18:25 TOI Saturday, but he's probably fine with a 5-1 win for Chicago.
