Crawford will defend the road cage in Saturday's matchup versus the Maple Leafs, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford's game has been up and down in January, but it rounds out to a .927 save percentage and 2-2-0 record. He's going to be a tough fantasy start, however, as the Maple Leafs are one of the hottest offensive teams in the league, averaging four goals per game over the last eight outings.

Crawford made 32 saves on 33 shots in a 4-1 win over the Canadiens on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford was only beaten by former Blackhawk Phillip Danault early in the second period. The 35-year-old goalie improved to 8-13-2 with a 3.00 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 24 games this season. The Montreal native loves playing against his hometown team, as he's won six straight versus the Canadiens. The Blackhawks wrap up their road trip Saturday in Toronto.

Crawford will guard the cage during Wednesday's road matchup with Montreal, Eric Lear of the Blackhawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford has been exceptional against the Canadiens throughout his 13-year career, compiling a 9-2-2 record while posting a 1.54 GAA and .954 save percentage in 13 appearances. Montreal is only averaging 2.75 goals per game at home this campaign, which is good for sixth worst in the NHL, so Crawford should have a great shot at picking up a sixth straight win over his hometown team Wednesday.

Crawford stopped 25 of 28 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford and the Blackhawks fell behind 3-0 by the end of the first period and were unable to claw all the way back, although Chicago drew to within 3-2 at one point. It was Crawford's eighth loss in his last 11 appearances. The 35-year-old is now 7-13-2 on the season with a 3.09 GAA and .906 save percentage. A home tilt against Anaheim on Saturday is up next.

Crawford will guard the cage during Thursday's home game versus Nashville, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford was rock solid in his last start Tuesday against Calgary, stopping 26 of 28 shots, but he ultimately suffered his 14th loss of the campaign due to a lack of goal support. The 35-year-old backstop will need to be sharp in order to come away with a win Thursday, as the Predators are averaging 3.65 goals per game on the road this campaign, second in the NHL.

Crawford turned aside 26 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford was a big reason the Blackhawks were able to keep it close, but they couldn't answer a pair of tallies from the Flames' Elias Lindholm. The 35-year-old goalie wasn't able to string wins together -- he's now lost five of his last six starts. Crawford dropped to 7-12-2 with a 3.10 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 22 outings. Robin Lehner (knee) practiced before Tuesday's game, so he could be in the mix for Thursday's game versus the Predators, which means Crawford's time as the primary starter is likely nearing its end.

Crawford will guard the goal during Tuesday's home clash with Calgary, Eric Lear of the Blackhawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford didn't face much rubber during his last start Sunday against Detroit, but he ultimately did enough to pick up his seventh win of the season, turning aside 19 of 21 shots en route to a 4-2 victory. The 35-year-old backstop will look to keep rolling in a home matchup with a Flames team that's only averaging 2.39 goals per game on the road this campaign, 25th in the NHL.

Crawford made 19 saves on 21 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford gave up both goals in the first period, then turned aside the last 13 shots by the Red Wings to allow the Blackhawks to make their comeback. The 35-year-old snapped a four-game losing streak, improving to 7-11-2 with a 3.14 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 21 games this season. Crawford would likely see the majority of the starts for as long as Robin Lehner (knee) is out of action.

Crawford will draw the home start for Sunday's tilt against the Red Wings, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford will draw his first start since Dec. 23 with Robin Lehner dealing with a right knee injury. Crawford will hope to bounce back as he's been struggling as of late, going 1-4-0 along with a 3.73 GAA and .894 save percentage in his past five starts. The good news for Crawford is that he faces the league's worst offense in goals per game (2.14), and the Red Wings are currently last in the league by 13 points.

Crawford allowed four goals on 20 shots before Robin Lehner replaced him in Monday's 7-1 loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford will be on the hook for the ugly loss, his fourth consecutive defeat. The 34-year-old has allowed 16 goals in that span. Crawford dropped to 6-11-2 with a 3.20 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 20 appearances. The Montreal native has just one win in six starts in December -- fantasy owners will want to use other options until Crawford can right the ship.
