Corey Crawford will be between the pipes for Chicago versus Avalanche

Chicago Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford has received the green light for starting duties against the Colorado Avalanche Thursday night.

What It Means:

Crawford draws an Avalanche team that is tied for 20th in the league in scoring at 2.50 goals for per game. He's won three straight while recording a 1.00 goals against average and .969 save percentage -- with one shutout -- in the process.

Our models believe Crawford is a decent option on FanDuel tonight, giving him a 62.0 percent chance of earning the win while projecting 24.62 saves on 26.93 shot attempts.
