Blackhawks' Crawford gets start against Ducks

Chicago Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford will get his first start in net since suffering his second concussion in two years in mid-December.

Coach Jeremy Colliton made the announcement Wednesday ahead of that night's game against the Ducks. Crawford was activated Monday.

In a Dec. 16 game against the Sharks, Hawks forward Dylan Strome was pushed into Crawford who went backward and hit his head on the post.

The 33-year-old Crawford, who has won two Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks, missed the final 47 games last season while dealing with lingering concussion symptoms.
