According to Mark Lazerus of The Athletic, Crawford feels "ready to go" physically, but believes he'll probably need to log a few more practices to get his timing down before returning to game action.
EDGE Analysis
This is fantastic news for the Blackhawks and Crawford's owners, as there was legitimate concern that the 34-year-old netminder may consider hanging up his skates after suffering his second major concussion in a little over a year against the Sharks on Dec. 16. Instead, the 2003 second-round pick appears to be on the verge of returning to the lineup, and could do so as soon as Wednesday against Detroit.

Crawford (concussion) practiced fully with the team Monday, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford remains without a timetable for his return, but his full participation in Monday's practice is an encouraging step in his recovery process. He last played Dec. 16.

Crawford (concussion) joined his teammates for practice Saturday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford primarily worked on his own with goaltender coach Jimmy Waite during Saturday's session, but the fact that he was on the ice with his teammates at all is an encouraging sign of the progress he's made in his recovery. There's still no timetable for the 33-year-old netminder's return to game action, but he's clearly trending in the right direction. Another update on Crawford's status should surface once he's cleared to be a full participant in practice.

Crawford (concussion) did some on-ice work prior to Monday's practice session, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford remains without a timeline to return, though coach Jeremy Colliton did say he expects the netminder to return before the end of the season. The next step for the veteran will be to join his teammates at practice, with everything pretty much status quo until then. At best, fantasy owners should probably consider Crawford week-to-week.

Crawford (concussion) was on the ice working with goaltender coach Jimmy Waite on Saturday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
There's still no timeline for Crawford's return, but it's a highly encouraging sign that he was able to resume skating Saturday, as there were legitimate fears that he may consider retirement after suffering his second major concussion in a little over a year. There's no reason for the Blackhawks to rush Crawford back, as they currently sit dead last in the NHL's overall standings, but it appears as though he should be able to return at some point this season.

Crawford is still in the NHL's concussion protocol and remains on injured reserve, Eric Lear of the Blackhawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It appears as though Crawford hasn't made much progress since suffering his injury Dec. 16 against San Jose, which unfortunately doesn't come as a surprise considering he was sidelined for nearly 10 months with a concussion he sustained in December of 2017. The Blackhawks are still hoping to have the veteran netminder back at some point this season, but they'll obviously proceed with extreme caution given Crawford's injury history. Collin Delia has emerged as Chicago's starter during Crawford's absence, making him a must-add player in all formats.

Crawford (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford suffered a concussion Sunday night, which is extremely concerning. The 33 year-old suffered a concussion last year that kept him out into the start of this season. The Blackhawks will, rightfully, be very careful with his health, given his recent concussion issues. Collin Delia was called up on an emergency basis in a corresponding move.

Crawford suffered a concussion in Sunday's game versus the Sharks, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This certainly is bad news for Crawford, who was limited to just 28 games last season due to a concussion. The netminder could be facing another extended stint on the sidelines, although the team likely won't have a good idea regarding his timeline for a few days. In the meantime, Cam Ward figures to be the starter for the Hawks while Crawford is sidelined.

Crawford was taken out of Sunday's game against San Jose due to an undisclosed injury.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford was involved in a nasty collison during the game, which led to him being pulled. The biggest concern for the netminder would be a possible head injury after having missed a significant chunk of time last season due to a concussion. The team should provide an update on the Montreal native prior to Tuesday's matchup with Nashville.

Crawford will be the home starter in Sunday's game versus the Sharks, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's has been a horrifying skid for Crawford, as he's lost nine of the last 10 starts while recording a .882 save percentage and 4.23 GAA in the process. He's poised to face plenty of quality opportunities from the Sharks, who rank second in the league at a 54.82 Corsi For percentage.
