Coach Joel Quenneville said Crawford might get three full games this preseason while the rest of the time would be shared. In the regular season, Quenneville wants Crawford to play in “the mid-50s” in terms of games.
After winning the job from his veteran counterpart Marty Turco, the younger Crawford played in 57 games and won 33 of them. In his sophomore campaign he should be expected to repeat those number, perhaps winning more with an improved lineup in front of him.
