Crawford saved 32 of 34 shots on goal on Thursday in the 3-2 Blackhawks' shootout win over the Stars in the season opener, CSN Chicago reports. Crawford helped keep the Blackhawks in the game against Dallas as the team had sloppy play especially in the first two periods. Crawford might be seeing more pressure in the early going of the season with some inexperienced defensemen on the team. The Blackhawks let go and traded a few of its veteran defensemen including Nick Leddy, who was sent to the Islanders last week.
