Crawford (upper body) could be lost for the balance of the season due to "vertigo-like symptoms," the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Multiple sources have reported that Crow could be out for the season, as he's feared to be dealing with the second case of vertigo-like symptoms in his career. The Blackhawks understandably are keeping this serious issue close to their collective vest until more information is obtained. Jeff Glass, a 32-year-old who didn't make his NHL debut until this past December, figures to continue holding down the Blackhawks' net for the foreseeable future. We advise against making any hasty moves in fantasy until the team makes an official announcement on Crawford.

Coach Joel Quenneville wasn't able to provide an update on Crawford's (upper body) status following Friday's morning skate, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford still hasn't resumed skating, and the Blackhawks have yet to release any details regarding his recovery, so he should be considered out indefinitely until he's able to take part in an on-ice workout. Anton Forsberg and Jeff Glass will continue to share the load in goal for Chicago until Crawford is given the green light.

Crawford (upper body) won't dress for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, NHL.com's John Kreiser reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jeff Glass will make a third consecutive start Wednesday, so the veteran netminder has clearly supplanted Anton Forsberg as the Blackhawks' top option in goal behind Crawford. Crawford has yet to resume skating, so he should be considered out indefinitely until he's able to start fielding shots from his teammates in practice.

Crawford was placed on injured reserve Wednesday morning with an upper-body injury, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't clear what was holding Crawford back when he was initially placed on injured reserve, but head coach Joel Quenneville said it's an upper-body ailment and wouldn't dismiss the notion he could be out for multiple weeks. Quenneville also wouldn't report how this injury happened, but Crawford will still be eligible to return on Dec. 31 at the earliest.

The Blackhawks placed Crawford (undisclosed) on injured reserve Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford didn't look like himself in his last two outings, posting a horrendous 5.72 GAA and .759 save percentage in back-to-back losses, so it appears as though a nagging injury may have been affecting his play. The 32-year-old netminder will be eligible to return Sunday against the Flames, but Chicago has yet to release any information regarding a potential timetable for Crawford's recovery. Anton Forsberg will take over as the Blackhawks' starter in the meantime.

Crawford was pulled in the first period Saturday against New Jersey after making just four saves on seven shots.
EDGE Analysis
It was the second-straight game against New Jersey where Crawford was yanked. His save percentage is among the best in the league, but it's clear that the Devils have Crawford's number.

Crawford will start in the blue paint Saturday in New Jersey against the Devils, Mark Potash of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford allowed four goals to the Stars in his last start, but only seven combined in the five games before that. He will attempt to get back on the winning path Saturday against a New Jersey club that sits in the middle of the pack in scoring (3.00 goals per game) at the home rink this season.

Crawford allowed four goals on 22 shots in Thursday's loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
It was a rare off night for Chicago's starting netminder, who picked up his first loss in six starts. He didn't get any offensive support in the defeat and falls to 16-8-2 on the season. Crawford has been dynamite lately, so we wouldn't read too much into this one. The veteran owns a phenomenal .932 save percentage and should have no problems bouncing back. Make sure you get him in your lineup.

Crawford will guard the goal in Thursday's road game against the Stars, Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford has been marvelous in the month of December, picking up five consecutive victories while posting a superb 1.37 GAA and .954 save percentage in five appearances. The 32-year-old netminder will look to stay hot and pick up his 17th win of the season Thursday in a tough road matchup with a Stars club that's averaging 3.40 goals per game at home this season, ninth in the NHL.

Crawford allowed one goal on 28 shots in a 4-1 victory against the Wild on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran goaltender better known for having superstar players around him is once again having a spectacular start to the season. Sure, the Blackhawks are barely holding onto a playoff spot, but Crawford owns a .935 save percentage and 2.10 GAA. Crawford has never posted a save percentage better than .924 in a full season, so he's more than on pace to set a new career high. And his GAA is currently his best mark since 2012-13. Crawford ends this weekend ranked in the top three in both of those percentage categories.
