The Chicago Blackhawks announced that they’re unlikely to trade Jonathan Toews, as the team’s captain is dealing with symptoms related to Long COVID and Chronic Immune Response Syndrome.

Toews, 34, hasn’t played since Jan. 28. Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson noted that the team hopes Toews can play again this season, although the centre has stopped skating for the time being.

While there’s some short-term clarity about Toews, the Blackhawks remain in a holding pattern with Patrick Kane.
