The Blackhawks have gone six straight games without a lead to start of the season. After the loss, Jonathan Toews talked to the media about the game vs the Red Wings
Blackhawks forward Henrik Borgstrom and captain Jonathan Toews have been placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol and did not practice on Tuesday, the team announced.
COVID-19 protocol-related absences can be the result of a number of factors, including an initial positive test that remains unconfirmed, symptomatic individuals, high-risk close contact, or a confirmed positive test, among others.
Borgstrom and Toews join Patrick Kane, Jujhar Khaira and Riley Stillman as the five players in the protocol, along with assistant coaches Marc Crawford, Tomas Mitell and Jimmy Waite.
