Watch: Toews avoids goal-less October with power-play snipe

Though he's at the end of one of the least productive first months to a season of his career, Jonathan Toews will carry momentum into November.

The Chicago Blackhawks captain stepped in and whipped a wrist shot over the shoulder of Peter Budaj on a power-play opportunity versus the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday, scoring his first of the season in his ninth game.

Toews' maiden goal last season came in his eighth game. He ended up with 28.
