No change for Toews, Ladd

Another day has passed and Jonathan Toews still isn’t on the ice with the Blackhawks. The team captain missed the last United Center workout before the first game in November — on Thursday in Phoenix. The Hawks still are calling him day to day with his concussion-like symptoms. Meanwhile, suggestions of a suspension for Andrew Ladd for his hit on Montreal’s Matt D’Agostini seem moot. General manager Stan Bowman still hasn’t heard from the NHL on the matter, “and we don’t expect to,” said Bowman. The Hawks have maintained that Ladd’s hit was a clean one.
