Crawford will back up Scott Darling in goal in the Blackhawks' regular season finale on Saturday night against the Avalanche, CSN Chicago reports. Crawford will be back in goal for the first round of the Stanley Cups against Nashville in what is expected to start Thursday. For the 2014-15 season Crawford is 2-0 against the Predators with a 2.34 goals against average and a .917 save percentage. In his career against Nashville, he is 9-7-1-1 with a 2.76 GAA and .894 save percentage.

Crawford saved 23 of 25 shots Thursday in St. Louis, but took a 2-1 loss. That's three straight 2-1 losses for Crawford -- two of them to the Blues -- but he's still on a four-game streak with a .920 save percentage or better. Blame the Blackhawks' offense for taking a pre-playoff vacation.

Crawford has been confirmed as the starter in goal for Thursday's game against the Blues, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. The Blues will counter with Jake Allen in their net, as both teams jockey for positioning in the Central Division. Crawford has dominated the Blues throughout his career, posting a 12-3-3 record, 2.24 GAA, and .917 save percentage over 18 outings.

Crawford was the first goalie off the ice at the Hawks' pre-game skate, indicating that he will start Thursday's game against the Blues, CSN Chicago's Tracey Myers reports. Though Crawford has dropped consecutive 2-1 decisions, to the Blues and the Wild, he's managed to turn away 94 of 95 shots over his last three turns in net for the Hawks.

Crawford held down his end of the bargain, stopping 28 of 30 against the Wild on Tuesday, but he was stuck with a 2-1 loss. Crawford and Devan Dubnyk both carried shutouts well into the third, but Crawford proceeded to give up two goals less than four minutes apart, while Dubnyk allowed just one. Nonetheless, he continues to deliver reliable play as the regular season draws to a close.

Crawford is slated to start Tuesday's home game against the Wild, CSN Chicago's Tracey Myers reports. Crawford, who will look to bounce back from Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Blues -- which snapped Chicago's four-game winning streak -- will take aim Tuesday at a Minnesota team that has dropped three straight contests.

Crawford made 31 saves on 33 shots in Sunday's loss to the Blues. While it was a great outing for Crawford, he was outplayed by Blues' goaltender Jake Allen, who made a whopping 38 saves. Crawford's been play very well of late, stopping 97 of the last 103 shots he's faced (.941 save percentage). The 30-year-old is now 32-18-5 on the season with a .924 save percentage and 2.28 GAA. He's the man in Chicago and will continue to be a great fantasy play in these final few games and into the postseason.

Crawford will be in goal for the Blackhawks on Sunday night against the Blues, Eric Lear of Blackhawks' TV reports. Crawford was solid in his last game on Thursday in the Blackhawks' 3-1 over the Canucks. In the last game against the Blues, Crawford blocked 25 of the 27 shots on goal in Chicago's win. In his career against St. Louis, he is 12-2-3 with a 2.25 goals against average and a .915 save percentage.

Crawford was first off the ice at morning skate, indicating that he'll likely start Sunday's game against the Blues, CSN Chicago's Tracey Myers reports. With Chicago facing a division rival that's nearby in the standings, there was never much doubt Crawford would get the nod. The Blackhawks, Blues and Predators are all still fighting for the top spot in the Central Division, and Chicago has four games remaining without any back-to-backs. It thus wouldn't be surprising to see Crawford get all four starts, after Scott Darling handled two of the last three games.

Crawford put a stop to 35 of 36 shot attempts Thursday in a 3-1 win over Vancouver. After consecutive four-goal efforts that resulted in losses, Crawford has bounced back with a pair of wins in a row. The 'Hawks have been strong even without Patrick Kane in the fold, and with Kane set to return come playoff time and Crawford playing some of the best hockey of his career, the Western Conference should be mighty wary.
