The center, reportedly dealing with a back injury, said he never has experienced his current condition before.You almost have to sit around and wait for it to heal and get better, Toews said.

Darling made a quick right pad save on Curtis McKenzies point-blank deflection with 6:30 left in the period.Shore opened the scoring at 1:25 of the second, batting in a loose puck to cap an odd-man break and flurry around Chicagos net.
