Lehner was great easier in the season, but seems to have worn down. Of course, playing goal for Chicago is not easy.

Crawford has been steady the last few weeks...but the subtraction of Gustafsson can only improve the Blackhawk D zone coverage, helping the Goalies out. I expect a guy named Kevin Lankonen to be called up. Lankonen is the 'Hawks 2nd best prospect at goaltender, Colin Delia has been the #1 goalie at the Rock., and will probably remain there, as the playoffs approach for the AHL.
