The Blackhawks are hopeful Corey Crawford will be able to return.
Crawford, who has not yet been seen at the Blackhawks’ summer training camp, has been labeled both “unfit to participate” and “unfit to play.”
“We are hopeful on that,” general manager Bowman said Tuesday of the goaltender’s ability to join the team in time to travel to Edmonton for the qualifying round against the Oilers. “We’ll be able to give you a better idea toward the end of the weekend. It’s something we’re still shooting for, but I don’t have a definitive comment.
