Original Story From CBS Boston

(CBS) Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews was on the ice for the team's morning skate and said he'll play in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final as the Hawks look to capture their second Stanley Cup in four seasons.

Toews said he was "100 percent ready to go" after he sat out the third period of Game 5 following a hit from Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk.

Though the extent of his injury is unknown, the 25-year-old Toews was seen skating on the first line with Patrick Kane and Bryan Bickell Monday morning.

Bruins center Patrice Bergeron also didn't participate in Boston's morning skate after suffering an injury in Game 5.
