Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford left Sunday’s game against the Sharks after a collision in the first period.
San Jose forward Logan Couture skated toward the net on a scoring chance with Dylan Strome chasing him down. Strome clipped Couture in the face with his stick as Evander Kane collided with Strome causing the Chicago forward to knock over Crawford. Kane was called for an interference penalty on the play.
The Chicago netminder’s head hit the post and he was down on the ice before leaving the game with head athletic trainer Mike Gapski.
