Toews did not record a point in any of his three exhibition games but skated heavy minutes in the first two, logging close to 18 per game. The elite faceoff man showed no rust at winning puck drops, going 28-for-46 for a 60.9% win rate. Toews will be anchoring Winnipeg's second line tonight between rookie Nikita Chibrikov and fellow offseason free agent signing Gustav Nyquist, who will also make his Jets debut. The three-time Stanley Cup champion and future Hall of Famer Toews last played a regular-season game 910 days ago on April 13, 2023, which was the final game of the Blackhawks' 2022-23 season. The Dallas Stars will be tonight's opponent, which is sure to be a thrilling battle for the division all season long between these two foes.
