Chicago -
While the Wild have have seven different goalies on the roster this season, the Blackhawks have Corey Crawford, who won a Stanley Cup last year and this year is 5-2 with a 1.98 goals-against average and a .935 save percentage.
What's funny about that is that last year, Chicago fans questioned whether they could win a Cup with Crawford in goal. Then he won the Cup, and now they're asking the same question.
Crawford played well in the Game 1 victory over the Wild. His playoff statistics are even better than those of Darcy Kuemper (3-1, 2.03, .913) and much better than Ilya Bryzgavlov's (1-3, 4.17, .821).
If Crawford is truly Chicago's weakness, the Wild are in trouble.
