Avalanche's Devon Toews: Playing Wednesday

Toews (illness) will be in action versus Dallas for Game 5 on Wednesday, Emily Kaplan of ESPN reports.

Toews' return to the lineup should bolster the Avs' offensive options considering he has generated six points through eight postseason contests. Caleb Jones figures to be dropped from the lineup due to Toews' return. In addition to pairing with Cale Makar, the 30-year-old Toews will probably link up with the No. 2 power-play unit.
