Returning to action Monday Toews (upper body) is available for Monday's game against the Red Wings, Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

Impact Toews sustained an upper-body injury in early January, but he'll be back in action Monday following a 13-game absence. Across 40 appearances this season, the 31-year-old has recorded a goal, 12 assists, 58 blocked shots, 18 PIM and 14 hits while averaging 22:20 of ice time.

Still unavailable Toews (upper body) won't play against Detroit on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Toews is day-to-day now after being considered week-to-week, but he will miss his 13th straight outing. He has accounted for one goal, 13 points, 68 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a plus-26 rating across 40 appearances this season.

Unavailable Thursday Toews (upper body) will miss Thursday's game in Montreal, per the NHL media site.

Impact Toews hasn't been in the lineup since Jan. 3 because of the injury. He has a goal, 13 points, 18 PIM, 14 hits and 58 blocks in 40 outings in 2025-26. His next opportunity to play will come Saturday in Detroit.

Not playing Wednesday Toews (upper body) is day-to-day but will not suit up for Wednesday's contest in Ottawa, according to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

Impact Rawal noted that Toews has yet to take contact in practice, so it seems unlikely the left-shot blueliner will be available for the second half of Colorado's back-to-back in Montreal on Thursday, though that has yet to be made official. The Avalanche currently have only five healthy defensemen on their roster, so a player will be brought up from the minors prior to Wednesday's game.

Remains unavailable Toews (upper body) won't play against Toronto on Sunday, per Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.

Impact Toews will miss his 10th straight game. It's unclear if he accompanied the Avalanche on the team's four-game road trip, which ends against Detroit on Saturday. Toews has contributed one goal, 13 points, 68 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a plus-26 rating across 40 appearances this season.

Set to miss homestand Toews (upper body) will not be available for the Avalanche's next two games, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports Wednesday.

Impact Toews is reportedly getting close to making his return, but it is not expected to happen during his next two contests. The blueliner has already missed seven games due to his upper-body injury. Prior to his absence, Toews was stuck in a 15-game goal drought during which he generated five assists, 33 shots and 25 blocks.

Deemed week-to-week Head coach Jared Bednar conveyed Tuesday that Toews (upper body) is week-to-week, according to Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.

Impact Bednar also said that a best-case scenario for Toews' return timeline might be two weeks. Toews has been a durable player over the last few years, but he'll now likely miss more than six regular-season games for the first time since 2021-22. The Avalanche will probably bring up a defenseman from the AHL in the near future to help offset Toews' injury.

Going to miss some time Head coach Jared Bednar said Sunday that Toews (upper body) is going to miss some time, according to Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.

Impact Toews was injured Saturday against the Hurricanes and missed his first game of the season Sunday versus the Panthers. Ilya Solovyov entered Sunday's lineup due to Toews' injury, and the former should receive consistent playing time on the third pairing while Toews is sidelined. Samuel Girard will likely continue to skate next to Cale Makar for the duration of Toews' absence.

Unavailable Sunday Toews (lower body) isn't expected to play against Florida on Sunday, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Toews managed to return to Saturday's 5-3 win over Carolina after crashing into the end boards skates first, but he will miss at least one game. He has produced one goal, 12 assists, 68 shots on net and 58 blocked shots across 40 appearances this season. With Toews unavailable, Ilya Solovyov will play against the Panthers on Sunday.

Posts helper Wednesday Toews notched an assist, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Toews didn't score a goal in December, picking up five assists, 32 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 14 appearances in the month. The 31-year-old's offense has been down all season, but he remains firmly in a top-pairing role. He's now at 13 points, a plus-26 rating, 67 shots on net, 57 blocked shots and 16 PIM through 39 appearances.

Scores in blowout win Toews scored a goal on four shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Canadiens.

Impact The blowout nature of this contest likely led to head coach Jared Bednar resting Toews a bit at the end -- he finished with 16:36 of ice time, lowest among all Colorado blueliners. The 31-year-old had a poor second half of November, with his goal Saturday snapping a six-game point drought. After his first tally of the season, he has eight points, 35 shots on net, 33 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-20 rating through 25 appearances in a top-pairing role.

Distributes three helpers Toews notched three assists, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Oilers.

Impact Toews has six helpers this season, all of which have come over his last six games. With his first multi-point effort of the season, it's safe to say his cold start is in the past now. The 31-year-old blueliner has added 19 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating across 15 appearances. Toews can chip in 40-50 points a year, but he'll always take a backseat to Cale Makar when it comes to offense from the blue line on the first pairing.

Secures first assist of season Toews provided an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.

Impact Toews has had a rough start to the year on offense, but he's remained in a top-pairing role alongside Cale Makar. The 31-year-old Toews helped out on a Nathan MacKinnon tally in the first period Sunday to get on the scoresheet for the first time in 10 games. Toews has added 16 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating. His shutdown defensive abilities will keep him in a prominent role, and more offense should follow -- he's logged at least 44 points in each of the last four regular seasons.
