EDGE Analysis

Leighton was recalled Thursday to supply the Blackhawks with additional depth at goaltender while Corey Crawford, who is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, is sidelined. The 34-year-old netminder has been decent in the minors this season, compiling a 26-8-0 record with a 2.44 GAA and .918 save percentage in 46 appearances. The former sixth-round pick will likely be returned to AHL Rockford as soon as Crawford is healthy.
