Corey Crawford: (Foot) Set To Start Saturday

Crawford (foot) will return to the net Saturday against the Blue Jackets.

Analysis:

Crawford resumed skating with the team this week and didn't seem to be facing any limitations with his foot, giving the Blackhawks confidence in returning him to active duty. Scott Darling has since been reassigned to AHL Rockford, with Antti Raanta sticking around as Crawford's backup. Crawford will start the first game of the Blackhawks' weekend back-to-back set, while Raanta more than likely gets the nod Sunday against the Maple Leafs. Crawford's return will put the Blackhawks' lineup at full health for the first time in several weeks, just as the team is beginning to hit its stride.
