If Corey Crawford wants to get back on the good graces of the faithful at the Mad House on Madison, then tonight is the night to do it.
Crawford is in search of his first win of the new year, but is entering just the third start in that time frame. His two losses: 4-0 against the Colorado Avalanche (Jan. 6) and 4-3 against the Edmonton Oilers (Jan. 2).
Corey Crawford will look to get back on track tonight at the United Center when the Blackhawks host the Detroit Red Wings. Crawford is looking for his first win of the new year.
Honestly, it probably shouldn’t be a big deal. But take away Chicago’s Jan. 5, 5-4, loss against the Philadelphia Flyers, Crawford’s backup, Ray Emery, is looking pretty good.
If Crawford has another bad night, a night where goals excede to four, again, and the offence comes out, there’ll be a bit frustration.
Sure, the 4-0 romp Chicago faced had more than a couple bad defencive lapses. But Crawford needs to be that $3.25-million goalte...

It was a two-team jostle in the Central Division while fans of both the Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings wondered when the Nashville Predators were going to thrust in the thick of things.

Blackhawks First Semester Report Card: Serious Cup Contender?
With Friday’s 4-0 loss at the hands of the Colorado Avalanche, the Chicago Blackhawks reached the 41-game mark of their season, meaning that half their campaign has come to an end.

Red Wings-Blackhawks wrap-up and overnight report: Wings out-Hawk Chicago
The Detroit Red Wings earned a measure of redemption for two nights’ worth of self-inflicted wounds, to the tune of a pair of 2-0 deficits and two penalty shots called against the Wings in their loss to Toronto and Sunday night’s Fathers’ Trip finale, but the Wings team that shook off its poor start in Chicago was more willing to get its hands dirty in out-grinding...

Blue Jackets-Blackhawks Preview
Mired in their longest losing streak in nearly three years, the Chicago Blackhawks now must get used to being without one of their top players. Their cause might be helped by facing a last-place team adjusting to a new coach.

Postgame Avs-Blackhawks – Gordie Howe Hat Trick for Gally
Yam Huh/AP
CHICAGO – Sixteen years covering this team, and even in the glory years can I rarely recall a game where the Avs kept the opposition crowd as quiet as this one tonight. Quite a feat too, considering 21,807 crammed into the United Center.
The Avs simply gave Chicago Blackhawks fans nothing to cheer about tonight. Not one thing.
