Scrivens will be in the crease Saturday against the Blackhawks.

Analysis:

Scrivens still appears to be coach Dallas Eakins' preferred option in goal, but that's probably only because Viktor Fasth (3.38 GAA, .891 save percentage) hasn't done much to warrant more usage. Even so, Scrivens carries a seven-game losing streak into Saturday's contest, and while he hasn't been poor in all of the outings during that stretch, it's still tough to put a positive spin on his performance. He'll at least have the advantage Saturday of matching up against Antti Raanta, as the Blackhawks save No. 1 goalie Corey Crawford for their game Sunday.
