The 'Hawks and Coyotes will begin the series on Thursday in Phoenix. The status of star Chicago center Jonathan Toews remains very much up in the air, though Jahns, who has constant access to the team, says Toews is likely to play, though notes that it will be the player's call. Regardless if Toews is in the lineup, Chicago will have a tough time scoring against Coyotes goalie Mike Smith.
