Jonathan Toews has been a faceoff-winning machine for the Blackhawks, and he continues to show why he’s one of the best of all time in that department.
"For me personally, it's one of those signs, if I'm not prepared to play or if I'm not completely mentally and emotionally into it is if I'm not finding ways to win draws," Toews said."It's just about being confident with your timing, your stick and picking pucks up.
"Same goes with battles on the wall. When you're going, you're finding those pucks and you're making plays and drawing checkers to you. So yeah, it's definitely one of those things I focus on. When that's going well, I feel like I'm in the game and making plays." The Blackhawks are the No. 1 faceoff team in the league this season with a win percentage of 58.5, which is a substantial improvement from the prior years. They hadn't finished inside the Top 15 or above 50 percent as a team since the 2014-15 season."He was zoned in tonight in that area and that helps him focus in on the other areas of the game," Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson said after Monday's game.
