Head coach Jared Bednar conveyed Tuesday that Toews (upper body) is week-to-week, according to Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.
Bednar also said that a best-case scenario for Toews' return timeline might be two weeks. Toews has been a durable player over the last few years, but he'll now likely miss more than six regular-season games for the first time since 2021-22. The Avalanche will probably bring up a defenseman from the AHL in the near future to help offset Toews' injury.

Avalanche's Devon Toews: Going to miss some time
Rotowire
Head coach Jared Bednar said Sunday that Toews (upper body) is going to miss some time, according to Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.
Toews was injured Saturday against the Hurricanes and missed his first game of the season Sunday versus the Panthers. Ilya Solovyov entered Sunday's lineup due to Toews' injury, and the former should receive consistent playing time on the third pairing while Toews is sidelined. Samuel Girard will likely continue to skate next to Cale Makar for the duration of Toews' absence.

Avalanche's Devon Toews: Posts helper Wednesday
Rotowire
Toews notched an assist, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Blues.
Toews didn't score a goal in December, picking up five assists, 32 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 14 appearances in the month. The 31-year-old's offense has been down all season, but he remains firmly in a top-pairing role. He's now at 13 points, a plus-26 rating, 67 shots on net, 57 blocked shots and 16 PIM through 39 appearances.
Toews scored a goal on four shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Canadiens.
The blowout nature of this contest likely led to head coach Jared Bednar resting Toews a bit at the end -- he finished with 16:36 of ice time, lowest among all Colorado blueliners. The 31-year-old had a poor second half of November, with his goal Saturday snapping a six-game point drought. After his first tally of the season, he has eight points, 35 shots on net, 33 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-20 rating through 25 appearances in a top-pairing role.

Rotowire
Toews notched three assists, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Oilers.
Toews has six helpers this season, all of which have come over his last six games. With his first multi-point effort of the season, it's safe to say his cold start is in the past now.
