Crawford will patrol the crease for Monday's contest against the Oilers, Carter Baum of the Blackhawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crawford was clobbered for four goals on 29 shots Saturday but managed to escape with the Game 1 victory. Still, the Blackhawks expect the 35-year-old veteran to turn things around. It would take a few more brutal outings for head coach Jeremy Colliton to consider making the switch to Malcolm Subban.

Crawford made 25 saves in a 6-4 win over the Oilers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Crawford was good enough to get the win. He allowed three goals to the epic Oiler power play, including one just a couple minutes into the game. Things got tense late in the third when he gave up two in just 36 seconds, but Crawford held onto the win. This series is a match of two ugly defensive teams, so the twinetender will be busy. Crawford's Stanley Cup pedigree could prove a difference maker in this series, which resumes Monday.

Crawford will guard the goal during Saturday's Game 1 against Edmonton, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crawford missed most of training camp after testing postive for COVID-19, but he looked sharp during Wednesday's exhibition game against St. Louis. The 35-year-old backstop played well in two starts against the Oilers during the regular season, picking up a pair of wins while posting a 2.01 GAA and .923 save percentage.

Crawford will start Wednesday's exhibition game versus the Blues, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crawford's training camp debut Saturday was the first indicator that he was past the COVID-19 problems and ready to go. However, Thursday's exhibition serves as further confirmation that he is preparing to take on the primary netminding duties in the team's upcoming five-game set versus the Oilers. Crawford was playing well just prior to the league's hiatus, posting a 5-2-0 record, a 2.15 GAA and a .934 save percentage over the last seven contests.

Crawford, who missed the first 12 days of training camp after testing positive for COVID-19, was a full participant in Saturday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Crawford looked a bit rusty following his lengthy self-quarantine, but he'll have several practices as well as an exhibition game against St. Louis to help get himself prepared ahead of next Saturday's Game 1 against the Oilers. The 35-year-old backstop compiled a 16-20-3 record while posting a 2.77 GAA and .917 save percentage in 40 appearances during the regular season.

Crawford (undisclosed) is on the ice for practice Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Crawford missed the first 12 days of training camp with an undisclosed issue, but it appears as though he's now healthy and ready to take over as the Blackhawks' No. 1 netminder heading into the team's qualifying round matchup with the Oilers. The 35-year-old netminder was red hot towards the end of the regular season, posting an impressive 2.41 GAA and .930 save percentage through his last 10 starts. If he's able to regain that form after such a long layoff, he could help propel Chicago past Edmonton.

According to Mark Spector of Sportsnet.ca, the Blackhawks have included Crawford (undisclosed) on their 31-man playoff roster.

EDGE Analysis

Crawford has yet to participate in training camp due to an undisclosed issue, but his inclusion on Chicago's postseason roster all but confirms he'll be traveling with the team to Edmonton on Sunday, so the Blackhawks are clearly hoping he'll be available at some point during their qualifying round series against the Oilers. The 35-year-old netminder was finding his groove towards the end of the regular season, posting a 6-4-0 record while registering a 2.41 GAA and .930 save percentage in 10 consecutive starts to close out the campaign. If he's available, Chicago could pull off the upset over Edmonton. If he's not, the Blackhawks could be knocked out in short order.

General manager Stan Bowman is still hopeful Crawford (undisclosed) will be able to join the Blackhawks before the team heads to Edmonton, Eric Lear of the Blackhawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blackhawks will head to Edmonton and enter the NHL's "bubble" Sunday, so time is running out for Crawford, who has yet to participate in training camp due to an undisclosed issue. If he's ultimately unable to travel with the team to Edmonton but is cleared to link up with his teammates at a later date, Crawford will have to self quarantine for seven days upon his arrival. For now, with Crawford's status up in the air, Malcolm Subban and Collin Delia will continue to battle for the Blackhawks' starting job in camp.

Crawford was designated "unfit to play" by the team after missing Monday's practice, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crawford almost certainly would have been the clear No. 1 option heading into the club's play-in clash with Edmonton, however, his issue will no doubt raise red flags for fantasy players. If the netminder is facing a long-term absence, the Hawks will likely have an open camp battle between Malcolm Subban and Collin Delia.

Crawford stopped 34 shots in a 6-2 win over San Jose on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Crawford has been locked in as of late, holding his opponents to two goals in six of his last seven starts and posting a save percentage of .920 or better in eight of his last 10. The 35-year-old has enjoyed a resurgent season with a .917 save percentage in 40 appearances. He draws another favorable matchup Friday at home against Ottawa.
