Crawford stopped 24 of 27 shots in the Hawks loss to the Maple Leafs last night. He had two weeks off due to injury, so he is fresh enough to go on back-to-back nights and should be a good fantasy start tonight vs. a Jets team with a rookie netminder between the pipes.
Crawford missed the last six games with an upper-body injury but will be back between the pipes tonight in Toronto. He has won four of his three starts with a 1.66 GAA and .926 SV%. A matchup with the Maple Leafs should make for a nice fantasy start.
