Blackhawks' Corey Crawford: Facing pucks Friday

Crawford will be the starting netminder for Friday's showdown in Washington, Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Despite allowing 13 goals over his last five starts, Crawford has come away with four victories thanks in large part to a clicking Chicago offense that scored 17 goals in those games. Crow may have his hands full Friday against a Capitals offense that is scoring at a clip of 3.83 goals per game in January.
