Toews has been sidelined for four weeks because of an upper-body injury, but will return to the lineup on Monday against the Detroit Red Wings. The league-leading Avalanche has played its worst hockey without Toews in the lineup, going 5-6-2, and will be eager for him to return. The 31-year-old Toews has 13 points (1G / 12A) in 40 games this season.
