Corey Crawford was a happy man on Tuesday, skating with his teammates after going solo while the Blackhawks were on the road in New York and St. Louis.
“That road trip felt like an eternity,” Crawford said with a smile. “But it’s good to be back on the ice and seeing shots again.”
Now all that remains is to back up to speed and get back in a game, the latter of which could come as soon as Friday.
Crawford is targeting Friday vs. Colorado, the Blackhawks’ final pre-Christmas game, to return from the appendix surgery that sidelined him about three weeks.
