Corey Crawford

Blackhawks will start Corey Crawford in net versus Minnesota

Chicago Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford will start on Wednesday night against the Minnesota Wild.

What It Means:

Crawford made 31 saves on 34 shots while picking up his second straight victory on Saturday. He sits at 20-12-3 for the season with a 2.57 goals-against average and .917 save percentage. The Wild have the third-best offense in the NHL (3.35 goals per game), so Crawford will have his work cut out for him on Wednesday night.

numberFire's models expect Crawford to allow 3.0 goals and stop 28.9 shots against the Wild. We give him a 40.0 percent chance of picking up the win.
