The Blackhawks placed goaltender Corey Crawford on injured reserve and recalled Jean-Francois Berube from the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League, the team announced Friday.
It's unclear what Crawford's injury is, but there were a few moments in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss against the Dallas Stars where he seemed to be laboring a bit.
The first sign came early in the first period when Crawford made a shorthanded save on Mattias Janmark, going from left to right.
But, the shorthanded rush to the net by Janmark in the opening period was the first time where we saw Crawford slow to get up.
