What It Means:

Crawford gave up three goals on 34 shots in a loss to the St. Louis Blues on Monday, but he draws a Sabres squad that has dropped six of their last eight and currently have the third-worst scoring offense in the NHL (2.19 goals per game). Chicago's starting netminder owns a .927 save percentage and 2.31 goals-against average this season while going 13-8-3.

Our models have Crawford as the fifth-ranked goalie option of the night with projections of 2.2 goals allowed, 24.3 saves, and a 57.0 percent chance of winning.
