Jonathan Toews is on his way out of the only team he’s ever played for so far in his decorated NHL career. The Blackhawks legend played his final game with the team Thursday night against the Philadelphia Flyers at United Center and he made sure he leaves Chicago fans with at least one more memorable moment when he found the back of the net in the second period of the contest while on the power play.
