Jonathan Toews will suit up as a Chicago Blackhawk for the final time Thursday night.
The 34-year-old center will not be re-signed by the organization this offseason, the team informed him this week.
"I've had a number of conversations with Jonathan throughout the season about his future with the Blackhawks, and recently, we had the difficult conversation that we won't be re-signing him this offseason. Tonight will be his final game as a Blackhawk, and it was very important to us to be able to provide the proper send off for Jonathan and our fans," Blakchawks GM Kyle Davidson said in a statement.
In 1,066 regular-season games, Toews has 371 goals and 511 assists. In 139 playoff games, he’s posted 45 goals and 74 assists, and he won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in 2010. Toews missed the entire 2020-21 season with Chronic Immune Response System, which caused debilitating inflammation and fatigue.
He appeared in 71 games in 2021-22, then started this season with renewed energy before slowing and eventually shutting himself down."He has done so much for this organization and no matter where he plays next, we're excited our fans get the chance to show Jonathan exactly how much he means to them," Davidson said.All the news you need to know, every day
