The duo follows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/kanepa01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Patrick Kane<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/stillri01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Riley Stillman<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/khairju01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jujhar Khaira<\/a> on the list.

Toews and Borgstrom being placed on the list <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2021\/10\/26\/stan-bowman-out-blackhawks\/\" target=\"_self\">wasn&#8217;t even the biggest new<\/a>s of the day. General manager Stan Bowman stepped aside after the results of an independent investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Toews has two assists in six games this season and two penalty minutes. The Winnipeg native has a Corsi of 61.9 and a relative Corsi of 14.3. Him being put on the COVID list is significant because he missed the last season chronic <em>immune<\/em> response syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>He has only played for Chicago during his 14-year NHL career. Toews has 345 goals and 472 assists for 817 points in 949 career games. Chicago originally drafted him third overall in the 2006 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>The 33-year-old has won three Stanley Cups and two Olympic gold medals. He&#8217;s also won the Selke Trophy and two IIHF World Junior Championships. Toews has represented his native Canada at the international level.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Means<\/h3>\n<p>The Blackhawks are 0-5-1 and the drought is at 360 minutes, 57 seconds, which is the longest since 1979-80. Chicago has to take on a motivated <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/leafs\/\" target=\"_self\">Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a> team that is looking to shake off a couple of bad performances in a row. The pivot from the rebuild hasn&#8217;t gone according to plan.<\/p>\n<p>The Hawks may be really shorthanded and without two of their cornerstones in Toews and Kane. Chicago may have to field a lineup with a good number of players that have been called up from AHL Rockford.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"7UxwEHYXS1dFNwMnhRhj6Q\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1236048551\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'7UxwEHYXS1dFNwMnhRhj6Q',sig:'L4p0VliYdLLCAgm0re6aSW-y6kjjCsQX-fG-jwcMkX8=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1236048551',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Blackhawks announced that team captain Jonathan Toews is on the COVID-19 protocol list.
