Crawford will be the starting netminder for Friday's showdown in Washington, Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite allowing 13 goals over his last five starts, Crawford has come away with four victories thanks in large part to a clicking Chicago offense that scored 17 goals in those games. Crow may have his hands full Friday against a Capitals offense that is scoring at a clip of 3.83 goals per game in January.

Crawford gave up three goals on 36 shots against Detroit on Tuesday, ultimately coming out on top thanks to Duncan Keith's game-winner early in overtime.

EDGE Analysis

All three tallies came in the second period, including Luke Glendening's game-tying score with just 19 seconds remaining in the frame. Otherwise, Crawford locked it down en route to his third consecutive win. He's failed to hold the opposition under two goals in any of his seven starts since returning from IR, but Crawford still has a solid .919 save mark in that time period. Blame the Blackhawks' skaters for making him face so much rubber -- he's seen 31.9 shots per game during that span.

Crawford will guard the goal in Tuesday's home game against the Red Wings, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crawford played well in his last outing, turning aside 25 of the 27 shots he faced in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Predators. The Canadian netminder will look to pick up his 16th win of the season in a matchup with a banged-up Red Wings team that has lost three of its last four games.

Crawford stopped 25 of 27 shots in Sunday's win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

It was the 15th victory of the season for Crawford, who is sporting a .925 save percentage. The 32-year-old continues to pad the win column and is delivering for a Chicago team sitting atop the Western Conference standings. While he's had some fairly average outings of late, Sunday's shutdown performance against Nashville could be a sign of what's to come. Keep him rolling.

Crawford will guard the crease Sunday against the Predators, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crawford's last few starts have produced mediocre results in goal and will face another significant test Sunday against a division foe averaging 2.63 goals per contest on the road this season. Crawford owns a solid 2.06 GAA and .933 save percentage at the United Center this season, providing a good matchup Sunday.

Crawford made 17 saves in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Crawford wasn't very busy, facing just 20 shots while Sabres counterpart Anders Nilsson saw 43. Such are the perks of tending goal for a perennial Stanley Cup contender. Crawford will have trouble getting to 32 wins for the fourth consecutive season after missing most of December due to appendicitis, but he still sports a solid 14-8-3 record.

Crawford will be between the pipes against the Sabres on Thursday, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crawford has just one win since returning from injury, but could benefit from playing a Buffalo squad that has managed a mere 2.19 goal per game, third worst in the league. Recent struggles aside, the netminder has a .927 save percentage on the year, his best since becoming the starter in the 2010-11 season.

Crawford saved 31 of 34 shots during Monday's loss to St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Crawford endured some tough luck in the loss, including one goal that went in off a defenseman's foot, but it was also his fourth consecutive game with 30 or more saves. The veteran netminder is now 1-2-1 with a .928 save percentage since returning from his emergency appendectomy performed Dec. 3. There might continue to be a few peaks and valleys through the end of the season, but Crawford's track record speaks for itself, and he remains a matchup-proof No. 1 goalie for your virtual club.

Crawford will be between the pipes against the Blues on Monday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crawford's first two appearances after returning from injury were underwhelming at best, but a 36-save victory over the Predators could be what the netminder needed to shake of the rust. The 32-year-old resumes his place in the crease for the Winter Classic versus rivals St. Louis, which should provide him with some additional motivation to record his first win of 2017.

Crawford made 36 saves in Thursday's 3-2 win at Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Crawford was the far busier goaltender in this one, with Nashville's Pekka Rinne facing only 23 shots. He helped earn his first win in three tries since returning from an appendectomy by drawing a controversial tripping call on Craig Smith that led to Jonathan Toews' power-play equalizer. Scott Darling performed admirably while Crawford was out for most of December, but the 31-year-old veteran reclaimed the starting job immediately upon returning.
