In a last-minute change, the Blackhawks will start Corey Crawford on Saturday against the Oilers instead of expected starter Raanta, who is ill, CSN Chicago's Tracey Myers reports.

Analysis:

Raanta will be in uniform as the backup, but it will be Crawford between the pipes for the Blackhawks in the first game of a back-to-back. If Raanta is healthy enough, he may go Sunday against Vancouver instead, though Chicago may want to stick with Crawford for that tough matchup.
