Blackhawks' Jonathan Toews: Out at least three more games

Coach Joel Quenneville told reporters Tuesday he's hopeful Toews (back) will be ready for the Blackhawks' upcoming road trip, which effectively rules the pivot out of the team's next three games, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

Coach Quenneville said he's hopeful Toews will be able to resume skating later this week, but there's still no telling when the Hawks' captain will be ready for game action. A more definite timetable for Toews' return to the lineup should be established once he's cleared to start taking contact in practice.
