VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Jonathan Toews’ Sunday morning, after he played his first game back in the Blackhawks’ lineup, was “pretty rough.”

But that, Toews assumed, was a “given,” considering how long it had been. Then Wednesday morning, after he played his second game, was better than Sunday morning. And both mornings were better than his mornings had been back in January and February.
