Overview

  • TSN reporter Darren Dreger posted on X that Jonathan Toews is likely to retire, a report published Wednesday that has not yet been confirmed by the player or teams.
  • Toews returned to the NHL for 2025–26 with the Winnipeg Jets and unexpectedly skated in all 82 games, recording 11 goals and 18 assists for 29 points.
  • The Jets finished the season 35-35-12 for 82 points and seventh place in the Central Division, a result that followed Toews’s full-season availability but modest scoring impact.
  • Toews had missed the two seasons before his comeback while managing chronic immune response syndrome and Long COVID–related issues, making his full 82-game season a notable reversal of expectations.
  • If he does retire, Toews would close a career of 383 goals, 529 assists and 912 points in 1,149 regular-season games and leave a legacy that centers on long captaincy, three Stanley Cups and strong Hall of Fame credentials.
