IceHogs’ strong goaltending provides Blackhawks with more options 1 year after Corey Crawford’s first concussion

It’s been almost exactly a year to the day since the Chicago Blackhawks lost Corey Crawford for nearly a full 10 months — and in the world’s darkest timeline, it’s very likely they’ve lost him again for the long run.

Crawford was taken out of Chicago’s game Sunday night against the San Jose Sharks after just 18:30 minutes of ice time, following a collision that resulted in yet another confirmed concussion.

The team was vague with their diagnosis last time around, leaving it as “upper body” for the entirety of Crawford’s absence and only confirming the concussion when he was set to return to the ice.
