Blackhawks' Corey Crawford: Undergoing appendectomy

Crawford will undergo an appendectomy Saturday and is out indefinitely.

Analysis:

Crawford was supposed to start Saturday against the Flyers, but was diagnosed with acute appendicitis by head team physician Dr. Michael Terry before puck drop. A more definitive timetable for the Canadian netminder's return to action will likely be established in the coming days. Scott Darling will shoulder the load in goal for the Blackhawks while Crawford is in recovery mode.
