As expected, the Chicago Blackhawks placed goaltender Corey Crawford and defensemen Gustav Forsling and Connor Murphy on injured reserve Wednesday. With the moves, Chicago finalized its 23-man roster.
Crawford (concussion) started practicing this week with the team for the first time in nearly eight months. At the start of training camp, he reveled he suffered a concussion last December that kept him out for the majority of the season and he was still dealing with lingering symptoms from it. On Tuesday, coach Joel Quenneville said he’s optimistic Crawford could return by the Hawks’ sixth game of the season Oct.
