Toews (lower body) isn't expected to play in Sunday's road game against San Jose, per Ryan Boulding of NHL.com on Saturday.
Toews will travel with the Avalanche on their upcoming road trip, which includes clashes in Seattle on Tuesday and Utah on Thursday in addition to Sunday's game, so even though he's not quite ready to return, the defenseman does seem to be close. When Toews is healthy, he will likely play on the top pairing alongside Cale Makar. Samuel Girard is projected to be paired with Makar on Sunday.
