Jonathan Toews (concussion) is getting closer to a return to action but he won't play Sunday against Nashville. He has now practiced for five days in a row without any setbacks and Toews is cautiously optimistic about a return to action soon. "I getting back to that stage where I'm progressing and getting closer to feeling the right way," Toews said. "I'm just staying positive and hoping this is the time we break through." With only seven games left in the regular season, Toews fantasy impact upon his return looks as if it will be modest.

Jonathan Toews (concussion) has been on the ice for four straight days. Naturally, while this is an encouraging sign, there's still no timetable for Toews' return. "We'll wait and see," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "You get him on the ice consecutive days you have a little bit more hope. But it's tough to target a date."

Jonathan Toews (concussion) was on the ice Tuesday. "It's always good to see him on the ice," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "He's progressing." With only two and a half weeks remaining in the regular season, Toews would have to start making significant gains quickly in order to return before the start of the playoffs.

Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said that Jonathan Toews is "trending the right way." The bad news is that Toews didn't skate today. It wouldn't be shocking if Toews misses the rest of the regular season, but that remains to be seen since concussions are so difficult to track.

There is nothing new to report on the condition of Jonathan Toews(concussion). He did not skate on Saturday for the fourth straight day. "He's a hockey player and he wants to play," coach Joel Quenneville said. "The process, I'm sure in his mind, is not a fun thing to be dealing with. You want to be optimistic; there was that stretch there where he was getting close. There's hope, and that's where we're at." If you believed that Toews was returning last week and put him in your lineup, take him out now.

Jonathan Toews did not skate on Friday. Although the Hawks keep saying that Toews is doing great in his recovery from a concussion and that they fully expect to him to return before the end of the regular season, this does not appear to be the reality. Toews seemed to suffer some type of setback this week and with three weeks left in the campaign, his return to action is very much in doubt.

Once again, there is no timetable for the return of Jonathan Toews (concussion). Toews skated on Sunday for the fourth consecutive time but since then, has only skated on Wednesday and it was brief at best. "Let's hope so," coach Joel Quenneville said when asked if he thought Toews would return before the end of the season. "It'd be great. We were hoping he'd be back earlier than this, but part of it is you just gotta deal with it -- the individual and us, be optimistic he'll be around and go from there." It looks like Toews had a setback and we will eventually find out how bad the symptoms really are.

Jonathan Toews' did not skate Thursday and his return from a concussion remains uncertain. He is not traveling to Dallas where the Blackhawks play Friday evening. Toews took a brief skate Wednesday marking the only time he has been on ice since Sunday. Hence, the center's return to action remains uncertain. Toews sustained his concussion Feb. 19 against St. Louis.

Jonathan Toews (concussion) didn't skate Tuesday. Toews was also kept off the ice Monday, but Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said it's "part of the process." Either way, Toews won't play on Tuesday.

Jonathan Toews (concussion) isn't likely to play on Tuesday, according to Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville. Toews opted to rest Monday after skating for four straight days. It's very difficult to accurately predict when a concussed player will return, but Tuesday seemed like a bit of a long shot anyways. Although Toews has been skating, he isn't completely symptom free and he hasn't been cleared for contact.
