After skating on his own with goaltending coach Jimmy Waite one hour before Blackhawks practice throughout training camp, Corey Crawford remains on track to practice with the team next week. And it could be as early as Monday.
"Today was another great day for him," coach Joel Quenneville said on Saturday. "Real good progress over the last week and a half. If not Monday, early next week."
Gustav Forsling, who's recovering from a wrist injury, and Dylan Sikura teammed up to take shots on Crawford before Saturday's morning skate, varying from shootout drills to screens to shots from the top of the faceoff circle.
