Corey Crawford between the pipes for Blackhawks

Chicago Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford is starting versus the Nashville Predators on Friday night.

What It Means:

The Blackhawks lost their season opener to the St. Louis Blues, with Crawford allowing three goals on 32 shots in that one. He'll likely be busy again tonight versus a loaded Nashville squad.

numberFire's models project Crawford to concede 2.53 goals on 29.83 shot attempts Friday night, giving him a 50.0 percent chance of earning the win.
