from Mark Lazerus and Scott Powers of The Athletic,

Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews is still dealing with long COVID symptoms and Chronic Immune Response Syndrome, he said in a statement Sunday. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Toews last played on Jan. 28 against Edmonton before taking a break to focus on his health. He’s tallied 14 goals and 14 assists in 46 games this season.
  • The 34-year-old missed the entire 2020-21 season while dealing with Chronic Immune Response Syndrome, an unspecific diagnosis from his doctors for the ailment that left him feeling drained and lethargic.
  • Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson told reporters Sunday that the trade deadline is “secondary” and he hopes Toews can return this season. Davidson’s comments follow speculation that Toews and right winger Patrick Kane could be traded by the NHL’s March 3 trade deadline.
