Crawford will tend the twine against Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Eric Lehr of Blackhawks TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford will look to take advantage of getting Tuesday night off after having been pulled in two of his last three outings. The 32-year-old has already reached the 30-win mark this season; his fourth in a row. The Pens have been slumping of late -- dropping three straight -- but remain the most dangerous offense in the league and will certainly test the netminder's abilities.

Crawford yielded four goals on 25 shots and was lifted early in the third period of Saturday's game against the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford has been a bit erratic lately, allowing three or more goals in four of his past nine appearances, but many of the goals allowed in this one were not necessarily his fault. The defense had a terrible game and some of the blame certainly falls at their feet. Either way, it's an 'L', and an ugly one, for Crawford.

Crawford will get the road start against the Panthers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford has a 2.52 GAA and a .920 save percentage on the season, and the Blackhawks are 23-11-1 on the road. Meanwhile, the Panthers are 3-7-0 in their last 10 games, so this game is looking pretty good for Crawford despite this start coming away from Chicago.

Crawford turned aside 42 of 44 shots through overtime and two of three shootout attempts in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
While Crawford allowed four goals on 10 shots before being pulled against the Canucks in his last outing, the veteran goalie's play here more closely resembled the form he showed in winning each of his three starts before that. Ales Hemsky was a thorn in Crawford's side all night with both Dallas goals, but it was Crawford who got the last laugh when he denied Hemsky in the third round of the shootout to seal the victory. He has made 40 or more stops three times in his past five appearances after facing fewer than 40 shots in each of his first 44.

Crawford will start between the pipes in Thursday's home game against the Stars, NHL.com's Brian Hedger reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford was terrible in his last start Tuesday against Vancouver, surrendering four goals on 10 shots before being yanked in the third period. The 32-year-old netminder will look to shake off that rough outing and pick up his 30th win of the season in a favorable home matchup with a Stars club that's 10-21-4 on the road this season.

Crawford was pulled 2:15 into the third period Tuesday against the Canucks after allowing four goals on 10 shots.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford spent most of his time on the ice watching his offense pelt pucks at counterpart Ryan Miller, but was unable to stay sharp when called upon. The Blackhawks scored three unanswered goals to tie the game after backup Scott Darling came in, but conceded one in overtime to fall 5-4 despite holding a 44-15 advantage in shots. This poor performance came out of nowhere for Crawford, who entered the night on a three-game winning streak.

Crawford will start in goal Tuesday, facing the Canucks on home ice, Brian Hedger of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford was rested for Sunday's comeback win over the Avalanche, which featured five unanswered third-period goals for Chicago's hockey club. Naturally, the starting goalie has done his best work when he has three or more days of rest between games (1.98 GAA, .934 save percentage), but he's still a viable fantasy option overall following a one-day hiatus (2.44 GAA, .926 save percentage). Crawford has a favorable matchup against a Vancouver team that ranks 29th in the league with 2.21 goals per contest.

Crawford made 25 saves in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford has won three straight games and allowed just five goals in those three. As always, he continues to deliver excellent production for the Hawks and his fantasy owners. Crawford is on his way to another 30-win season.

Crawford will start between the pipes in Saturday's road game against the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford has been red-hot recently, earning victories in back-to-back starts while maintaining an outstanding .953 save percentage over that span. The 32-year-old backstop will look to stay dialed in and pick up his 29th win of the season in a tough road matchup with a Maple Leafs squad that's averaging 3.04 goals per game this season, sixth in the NHL.

Crawford denied the Canadiens on 40 of 42 shots Tuesday, securing a 4-2 victory in the process.
EDGE Analysis
That makes two straight games with 40-plus saves for Crawford, and he delivered both of those performances against teams with elite goalies of their own in Minnesota's Devan Dubnyk and Montreal's Carey Price. His GAA's up a bit this year, mostly because the Blackhawks haven't killed penalties well on the whole, but it's well worth noting that they haven't allowed a single power-play goal through seven March games.
