Crawford's off-ice injury: tripped up at concert
Sporting a walking boot on his left foot, Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford met the media Wednesday morning to discuss the injury that will keep him out of the lineup for about three weeks.
“I was at a concert the other day and I was on the way out and I missed a step,” Crawford said. “I didn't think it was that bad but I got up the next day and it was worse than I thought ... Pretty embarrassed by it, frustrated.”
Crawford wouldn't get into details, but said he hopes to return before the three-week estimate.
“I'm going to work really hard to get back,” he said. “It's a tough bounce for me. I feel pretty bad about it.”
Antti Raanta will start tonight against the Blues and Lemont native Scott Darling has been recalled from Rockford.
“Really confident in them,” Crawford said. “Those two guys have shown what they could do. Everyone has confidence in them.”
