Toews, 28, scored seven goals with 11 assists in 10 games during the month, leading the Hawks to a 9-1-0 record. Chicago only loss came after its mandatory bye week.
The Chicago captain recorded at least a point in nine of 10 games which included five multi-point performances. His biggest performance was Feb. 21 at Minnesota where he scored his fourth career hat trick and second career five-point game. It was his first five-point outing since Nov. 25, 2011 at Anaheim.

Nashville Predators winger Filip Forsberg and Washing Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby were named the league’s second and third stars, respectively.
