Though there are several key players in the Blackhawks’ current run atop the Central Division, none have been more important that Corey Crawford. The ‘Hawks’ goaltender is 6-0-2 with a 1.36 GAA and a .957 save percentage this season.
With the Canadiens coming off a 5-0 victory over Detroit Saturday, they will turn to backup goalie Al Montoya. This will be the first time we see Montoya take to the crease since he was hung out to dry in a 10-0 shellacking at the hands of Columbus.
