Jonathan Toews, Jets Beat Blackhawks + Cooley & Necas Sign Extensions | NHL News Halloween Edition


Listen Later

Hello guys! Welcome back to another episode of The Hockey Talk with TG Podcast.


In this episode, I dive into a huge night around the NHL — highlighted by Jonathan Toews leading the Winnipeg Jets to a 6-3 win over his former team, the Chicago Blackhawks. It was an emotional and headline-making moment as Toews faced Chicago for the first time since leaving the team he captained for 15 seasons. He registered an assist in the victory as the Jets moved to 8-3-0 on the season.


I break down the Jets’ strong offensive showing led by Gabriel Vilardi, Kyle Connor, and Mark Scheifele, plus goaltending highlights from Connor Hellebuyck. On the other side, Teuvo Teräväinen, Alex Vlasic, and Andre Burakovsky scored for Chicago, but it wasn’t enough to stop Winnipeg’s momentum. And mark your calendars — January 19, 2026 will be a special one when Toews returns to the United Center to play in Chicago for the first time since 2023.


We also cover two massive contract extensions around the league. Logan Cooley signs an 8-year, $80M deal with the Utah Mammoth, keeping one of the NHL’s brightest young stars locked in long-term. I discuss what this move means for Utah’s future, their young core of Cooley, Dylan Guenther, JJ Peterka, and Mikhail Sergachev, and how the team is establishing a real foundation for success.


Meanwhile, Martin Nečas inks an 8-year, $92M extension with the Colorado Avalanche. I break down what his chemistry on the top line with Nathan MacKinnon and Artturi Lehkonen means for Colorado’s depth and how the Avs are re-loading for another Stanley Cup push.


We’ll also recap Thursday’s NHL action — including Anthony Cirelli’s OT winner for Tampa Bay over Dallas, Trevor Zegras’ three-point night with the Flyers, and a full slate of highlights from around the league as we head into the Halloween weekend.


So sit back, relax, and enjoy the episode. 🎧
