In his second game back from a serious concussion, Corey Crawford proved he hasn't missed a beat after a 10-month absence.
Crawford made 37 saves in his first win since late December and backstopped the Blackhawks to their first regulation win of the season, 4-1 over the Blue Jackets.
"CRAWFORD! What a save!"
