Goalie Corey Crawford has been cleared to return, but he won't be in the net against the San Jose Sharks Friday night when the Blackhawks go for the NHL record of 17 games to start the season of getting at least 1 point. Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said Ray Emery would start for the fourth game in a row even though he missed practice Thursday attending to a family matter. Brent Seabrook also will play Friday after missing the Vancouver game.
