The Blackhawks are looking really good since Crawford came back to watch the net for the Blackhawks. However, the Canucks are a solid team and the defense for the Canucks, while it has struggled on the year has not been playing with the reliance on a single player that without him watching the net generally leads to losses. Even with the record of the Canucks being just over the five hundred mark the Canucks are still not relying on any single player.
