this weekend due to illness. "(Toews) was pulled from Tuesday

fully healthy heading into the rest of the season." NHL rules

also miss the game before or after the All-Star Game. The Blackhawks

D Dennis Wideman apologized for cross-checking a linesman during a

suspended for his actions a day later by the NHL. The suspension is
pending until Wideman has an in-person hearing with NHL hockey
operations on Tuesday, the league said in an announcement on
Thursday. The NHL is currently in its All-Star break. Wideman said
he cross-checked linesman Don Henderson unintentionally in a woozy
scramble to get back to the team's bench at 11:19 of the second
period. Wideman flattened Henderson with a hard shot to the
upper-middle back but was not penalized for the blindside move.
