Jonathan Toews: Out of All-Star Game with illness
Toews will miss the All-Star Game due to illness, resulting in an automatic one-game suspension, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.
Analysis:
Toews will miss the Blackhawks' Feb. 2 meeting with the Avalanche because any player who sits out the All-Star game must also sit out his team's first contest following the break. The center ended January in a five-game scoring drought and will have to wait a little longer for his chance to stop the skid.
