The Chicago Blackhawks split a weekend back-to-back, defeating the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-1 on the road on Saturday night before returning home to a 6-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday. Who’s trending up and trending down after that pair of games? Let’s take a look:
Three up
Corey Crawford
Let’s leave the Blackhawks goaltender at the top of this list, because the most encouraging sign around this team remains Crawford’s play. He played well in a loss against the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday and was even better against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday, resulting in Chicago’s first regulation win of the season.
