Much like the Blackhawks’ team mantra, Corey Crawford only likes allowing one goal. That’s as many as he’s allowed in three of his four outings this season.
Thursday night wasn’t all Crawford, who made 18 saves and even picked up an assist. Patrick Kane scored his ninth goal of the season and the defense limited the Rangers to 19 shots in a 4-1 win Thursday at the United Center.
The Blackhawks’ (6-2-2) offense started hot, with Jonathan Toews scored less than three minutes into the game on a breakaway when two New York defenders ran into each other.
