Despite reports of a career in jeopardy, Jonathan Toews has made his triumphant return, as the Chicago Blackhawks captain suited up for the first time since January 28th on Saturday against the New Jersey Devils.
The 34-year-old, who has missed the Blackhawks' last 27 games with long-covid symptoms as well as Chronic Immune Response Syndrome, was well received by the home crowd, who honoured the club’s longest-tenured leader with a raucous ovation following his introduction.
