Blackhawks' Corey Crawford: Slated to start Wednesday's Game 1

Crawford is in line to start between the pipes in Thursday's Game 1 against the Predators, Charlie Roumeliotis of CSN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

Crawford will look to build on the success he had against Nashville during the regular season, as he's been rock solid against the Predators this campaign, compiling a 3-1-0 record while registering a .921 save percentage over four appearances. The 32-year-old netminder will likely start every game of the Blackhawks' first-round series, barring injury or an abysmal performance.
