Corey Crawford allowed three goals on only 17 shots in Chicago's 4-0 loss to Minnesota Tuesday night at Xcel Energy Center.

Corey Crawford was clearly the best goalie on the ice on Sunday as the Chicago Blackhawks knocked the St. Louis Blues out of the playoffs via a 5-1 Game 6 win.
St. Louis dominated much of the first two periods, including the second period, but Crawford was up to the task. He stopped 35 out of 36 shots as Crawford showed that he's arguably underrated in the goalie ranks.

Corey Crawford was superb in goal for the Blackhawks Monday as they defeated St. Louis by a score of 2-0 in Game 3 of their first round playoff series.

Corey Crawford put a lot of the blame for Chicago's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues on his shoulders.
Crawford surrendered the game-tying goal with just seven seconds left in the third period. "My pads were together but there was a little space there," Crawford said. "I have to find a way to make that save and our guys need me to make a save at the end. It's really frustrating being up and losing the lead two games in a row in the last couple of minutes. That's pretty much not acceptable. We're not going to win if I play like that. I have to be better." The Blackhawks are now down 2-0, but the silver lining is that the series will head back to Chicago for Game 3 on Monday.
