Corey Crawford gets a tough draw as the Blackhawks visit the Capitals
Chicago Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford makes a tough road start versus the Washington Capitals on Friday.
What It Means:
Crawford has played well as of late -- winning four of his last five starts -- but faces a red-hot Washington Capitals team who have won seven straight games behind goalie Braden Holtby. In his last start versus Washington, Crawford allowed three goals on 27 shots faced as Chicago lost 3-2.
Our models have Crawford as the third-worst goalie option Friday with projections of 2.5 goals allowed, 28.2 saves, and only a 33.0% chance of winning.
