Corey Crawford will start against the New York Rangers on Thursday night. The Chicago netminder has struggled of late, while dropping his last five outings (0-4-1). He has allowed 19 goals over his winless skid.

Chicago Blackhawks netminder Corey Crawford allowed five goals on 27 shots in a 5-3 loss to the Sharks in San Jose Friday night. Crawford had an oustanding rookie campaign last year but has been inconsistent and unreliable this season. He has lost five games in a row. His goals-against average is close to 3.00, one of the worst in the NHL. The Hawks have no wins in their past seven games.

Corey Crawford will get the start on Friday when the Blackhawks take on the Sharks in San Jose. Crawford has struggled this season after an outstanding rookie campaign. While his 18-13-5 record is reasonably all right, his 2.94 GAA and .900 save percentage leave him closer to the bottom of goaltending stats than the top. The Blackhawks are 0-5-1 in their last six and need a strong performance from Crawford to start turning things around.

Blackhawk management still believes Corey Crawford will play consistently better hockey for the balance of the season than he has to date. In fact, GM Stan Bowman indicated that he will not be looking for a goalie at the trade deadline. "I'm happy with the guys we have", Bowman said. "Corey was dynamic for us last season. He pretty much helped us get in the playoffs and then he was dynamite in the playoffs. We're only seven, eight months removed from that. It's one of those things where success can help boost your confidence and get you back in short order." It seems that the Hawks are going to stand behind Crawford, at least for now.

Corey Crawford kicked out 23 of 28 shots in a 8-4 loss Thursday. Ray Emery replaced him early in the third period, but ended up allowing another three goals on 13 shots. Chicago has now lost four straight games, which has caused them to fall behind the pack in the intensely competitive Central Division.

Corey Crawford will probably play between the pipes on Thursday. Crawford has a 18-12-5 record, 2.86 GAA, and .902 save percentage. He's lost his last three contests.

Corey Crawford lost his third game in a row as the Chicago Blackhawks fell to the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 in overtime. Crawford still has a solid record at 18-12-5, but the Blackhawks likely want him to carry the play more often rather than leaning so heavily upon the explosive offense in front of him.

First-string goalie Corey Crawford likely will be in net when the Chicago Blackhawks visit the Vancouver Canucks tonight. Crawford was 18-12-4 before the All-Star break.

The Nashville Predators edged Corey Crawford and the Chicago Blackhawks 3-1. Crawford allowed two goals on 23 shots. This drops Crawford's record to 18-12-4 on the season. He's been a little disappointing but the Blackhawks have found a way to win most games regardless.

Corey Crawford, who had a miserable Sunday night in net when he allowed four goals before getting pulled in a 5-2 loss in Nashville, likely will get an opportunity to make amends tonight. The word is that the Blackhawks intend to use Crawford in goal when the Predators visit Chicago tonight. In the Sunday game, Crawford gave up four goals on only 17 shots before being replaced by Ray Emery.
