Toews To Play Tuesday Despite Missing Practice

By Adam Hoge -

Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews will play against the Minnesota Wild Tuesday despite missing Monday's practice, head coach Quenneville said.

Toews suffered a lower body injury late in Saturday's win at Detroit. He played Sunday, but was a minus-two in the Blackhawks 4-1 loss to Philadelphia.

Tuesday's contest is the Blackhawks' final game before the the all-star break, but when asked if sitting out the All-Star Game was an option for Toews, Quenneville said: "I don't think that's part of the discussion."

Corey Crawford will start in net against the Wild.
