Crawford has been a fantasy stud so far this season, he is sporting a 5-0 record with a 1.78 GAA and .933 SV%. The Blackhawks were badly outplayed by the Red Wings in the Hawks last game but Crawford stood tall and earned the OT Win. He is a must start.
The Blackhawks are off to a 6-0 start and Crawford won 5 of those games posting a 1.78 GAA and .933 SV%.
Crawford has allowed 2 goals in every game he's played in this season, but with his team scoring he is 4-0-0. The Blackhawks are off to a 5-0 start and look to continue that tonight against their Central Division rival the Detroit Red WIngs.

Crawford remains undefeated so far this year with a 3-0-0 record, 1.98 GAA and a .923 SV%. The Blackhawks appear to be playing some of the best hockey in the NHL right now, and that bodes well for fantasy owners with Crawford.
Crawford might not post the best GAA and SV% but the offense he has in front of him is one of the best in the league. The goal support is enough to make him a serviceable fantasy goalie. If he can improve on his numbers he could grow into an elite fantasy option.
Ray Emery struggled in his first appearance of the season so it looks like this is Crawford's job to lose. He played well in the season opener stopping 19 of 21 shots that he faced in a win over the Kings.
The Blackhawks should be a good team this season, but the inconsistent play from Crawford last season leaves fantasy owners worried about whether or not he is a good fantasy option. I like Crawford more as a #2 fantasy goalie than a #1 but he also has a lot of upside given the skill of the team he plays on.
