It should come as no surprise that Corey Crawford will start in goal against the Canucks Saturday.
Alhtough he has struggled in the month of November, it will be Crawford's 14th consecutive start. He likes playing against the Canucks, so we would stick with him Saturday night.

Corey Crawford has struggled during the month of November, but it does follow a similar career trend.
Crawford has a respectable 7-2-1 November record, but it's the 2.98 goals against average and .890 save percentage that has left many poolies reeling. If you dig a little deeper into his career numbers (2.87 and .895), November has always been the statistically worst month during the regular season for Crawford. Don't worry poolies, the numbers for the rest of the year always seem to adjust itself, so consider this a blip on the radar, but owners should be eagerly waiting till the calendar flips over to December.

Corey Crawford allowed three goals on only seven shots in the Chicago's 5-1 loss to Colorado Tuesday night.
Crawford was replaced in the first period by Antti Raanta following Colorado's third goal. Raanta was recalled Sunday from the Rockford IceHogs of the AHL. Crawford now has a 13-4-3 record with 2.55 GAA and .905 save percentage. Maybe the Blackhawks will give Raanta a chance to start in their next game.

The Chicago Blackhawks announced that Corey Crawford will be Sunday's starter despite a rough showing on Saturday.
Even so, Antti Raanta will play at some point during their seven-game "circus" road trip. (The Blackhawks are at home on Sunday, however.) Not shocking that Raanta will get a look or two on such a long haul.

Corey Crawford had a terrible night in relief of Nikolai Khabibulin, giving up five goals in the Blackhawks' 7-2 loss to the Predators on Saturday night.
Khabibulin left at 15:24 of the first with a lower-body injury, having allowed two goals on eight shots. Crawford came in and was pretty much just as bad, making only 17 saves. Sure, he had won four in a row, but Crawford has given up four or more goals in three straight games. As a result, he has a 2.50 goals-against average and .907 save percentage.

Crawford is enjoying quite the season as his record is an exceptional 12-2-3 for the season playing behind the powerful Blackhawks supporting cast. A save percentage of .914 and a GAA of 2.31 prove that Crawford isn't simply a product of his environment.
