Toews to miss fifth straight game for Hawks

Jonathan Toews will miss his 5th straight game with concussion symptoms tonight. This is not really a surprise as concussion is an injury that lingers and if you saw the hit that Toews took, you know it was a bad one.

"It's only been two days I've been back on the ice so it's more than just feeling good, it's about getting your game and getting your legs under you a little bit," Toews said following Thursday's morning skate. "I'll keep working hard and have a couple of good workouts here and see how it goes. Hopefully I'll keep progressing."

Toews was unsure whether he would return for the Hawks' game against the Avalanche in Colorado on Friday night.

"We'll take it day by day just like we have the last couple of weeks," Toews said. "Today was better than yesterday and hopefully tomorrow is the same case. We'll see how everything goes at the morning skate (Friday) morning.

Bummer. We'll recap the Hawks action tonight out in Arizona anyways. Our bet is that he plays next game out.
