Hawks' Toews sits again with upper-body injury

CHICAGO -- Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews sat out his sixth straight game on Sunday night against the Winnipeg Jets with an upper-body injury that coach Joel Quenneville said is "not getting better."

Quenneville said Toews skated briefly Sunday morning, but he plans to "keep him off the ice for a few days and get a better assessment in the middle of the week or so."

Quenneville said he didn't believe Toews' injury was something the 28-year-old center has experienced before. Toews has four goals and eight assists in 21 games and is Chicago's best faceoff man.
