Crawford stopped 36 of 38 shots in a 2-1 OT loss to the Canadiens on Saturday. He sits at 0-1-3 with a 2.44 GAA and .932 SV% as he continues to search for his first win since returning from a leg injury. The first time he faced the Avalanche he was pulled after he allowed three goals on seven shots in the first 13:17.
Crawford surrendered three goals on 32 shots in Wednesday's loss to the Rangers. Crawford will get the call against the Habs on Saturday in search of his first win since returning from a leg injury. He is 0-1-2 with a 2.60 GAA and .926 SV% in three starts since reclaiming his starting gig. Montreal has lost four of their last six games while being outscored 21-17.
Crawford stopped 40 of 42 shots in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Blackhawks on Sunday. He is still searching for his first win since returning from IR, but has posted a solid 2.38 GAA and .934 SV% in his first two starts back. Tonight he will take on a very inconsistent Rangers team who are 13-10-0 on the road.
Crawford allowed three goals on 34 shots in his return to the crease vs. the Islanders on Thursday. It was his first start in almost one month and while it wasn't the best outing, he is only going to get better as he shakes off the rust. He will need to be at his best when he takes on a Sharks team who have won five of their last seven.
Crawford owners will be able to use their goalie for the first time since his groin injury on Dec 8.
Crawford didn’t dress for the game against the Kings — the 10th consecutive game he missed — but is expected to return Thursday against the Islanders or Friday against the Devils. Not a moment too soon for Crawford, either, because he was getting antsy skating by himself. ‘‘It felt pretty long when I was out,’’ said Crawford, who added he never had an injury this severe. ‘‘I was getting pretty bored there for a bit. It’s nice to be back on the ice with the guys.’’
Crawford has missed the last nine games and is expected to miss his 10th tonight. He suffered a leg injury on December 8, but is expected to return to the crease this week. Crawford is 17-6-3 with a 2.47 GAA and .907 SV% and is a solid number-1 fantasy option.
Crawford has been out since December 8, but is nearing a return from what is believed to be a leg injury. Taking shots in practice this morning is a good sign that he is definitely getting close. Crawford is 17-6-3 with a 2.47 GAA and .907 SV% this season.
Crawford was originally expected to miss three weeks, and it has only been nine days. Resuming skating this week will be a positive sign in his return from his lower-body injury. Expect Crawford to be back in late December or early in 2014.
Antti Raanta will serve as the Blackhawks starter while Crawford is on the shelf and he will be backed-up by Kent Simpson. Two-to-three weeks will force Crawford to miss anywhere between 7-10 games.
Crawford suffered the injury on Sunday night while making a rather harmless looking save on Marcel Goc. The injury at the time looked quite serious, but it was reported this morning that the injury is not believed to be as serious as it might have looked. Regardless the team has recalled Kent Simpson and he will serve as the team's second goalie while Crawford is on the shelf. Chicago has four games this week, but there is no word yet as to how many Crawford will miss. Monitor his status when Chicago returns home for Wednesday's game against the Flyers.
Crawford was injured with six minutes remaining in the first period. He struggled to move laterally after a right-pad save on Marcel Goc’s shot, and play was halted. Crawford, with the help of a trainer, headed to the locker room. As bad as Crawford’s injury looked originally, coach Joel Quenneville sounded optimistic about the goaltender. “I haven’t talked to the docs yet, but I don’t think it’s too serious,” he said. “But when it’s a goalie, it’s a little more serious than other players because of how important he is to the team. We’ll have a better assessment tomorrow, but we’re thinking along those lines (of prognosis).”
Crawford was injured on what appeared to be a relatively easy save, but appeared to be in a lot of pain following the pad stop. He had to be helped off of the ice and was replaced by Antti Raanta. Judging by the amount of pain Crawford appeared to be in, you have to fear that it could be serious injury. The Blackhawks are already without goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin, so Raanta would take over as the team's number-1 should Crawford miss an extended period of time. Expect an update after the game and tomorrow.
Crawford allowed four goals on 23 shots in a loss to the Wild on Thursday. After winning four straight, Crawford has lost two in a row while allowing four goals in each contest. He will be back in goal with a great matchup vs. the Panthers.
Crawford had a rough night allowed four goals on 18 shots in a loss to the Stars on Tuesday. Tonight he takes on a Wild team that he is 1-1-0 with a 3.04 GAA and .891 SV% against this season. The last time he was in Minny he stopped 29 of 30 in 5-1 win.
Crawford allowed a single goal on 29 shots in a win over the Stars on Friday. It was his fourth consecutive win and also the third straight game he allowed just one goal. He finished October off 10-2-1 with a 2.47 GAA and .911 and now leads the NHL with 17 wins, two ahead of Antti Niemi.
Crawford allowed one goal on 25 shots in a win over the Oilers on Monday. It was his third straight win and 16th of the season. He is now 9-2-1 with a 2.62 GAA and .906 SV% in November. The matchup with the Stars is tough one, but he is already 1-0 vs. Dallas this season.
Crawford allowed one goal on 37 in a 2-1 win over the Canucks on Saturday. It was Crawford best performance of the season and earned him his league leading 15th win. He gets the call tonight against an Oilers team who have won three straight while outscoring their opponents 15-3.
Crawford allowed three goals on 25 shots in a win over the Jets on Thursday. It was a strong bounce-back game after being pulled on Tuesday. It will be Crawford's 14th straight appearance as he continues to be the Hawks workhorse with Nikolai Khabibulin on IR and Antti Raanta only having 47 minutes of NHL experience. He has a tough matchup on the road vs. Vancouver.
Crawford was yanked after allowed three goals on seven shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche. Head coach Joel Quenneville obviously wants to give him a chance to rebound quickly, as he will face the Jets tonight. Crawford is 2-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and .962 SV% in two starts vs. the Jets this year.
