INJURIES:

FIRSTS:

Corey made his National Hockey League debut on January 22, 2006, at the United Center in Chicago. Recalled from AHL Norfolk to replace an injured Nikolai Khabibulin, Crawford began the game as the Blackhawks' dressed backup for their game against the visiting Minnesota Wild. However, starter Adam Munro was ineffective, prompting Chicago head coach Trent Yawney to replace him. Crawford played well in stopping all seven shots he faced, and the Blackhawks climbed back from a 3-0 deficit before losing 3-2. "Crawford was awesome for a kid that was thrown in there," remarked Yawney after the game.
Corey's first National Hockey League victory and first National Hockey League shutout came on March 5, 2008, when the Chicago Blackhawks hosted the defending Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks. Crawford stopped nineteen shots in the 3-0 win. "The guys played awesome tonight. They didn't get any second shots and I saw the puck the whole game," said Crawford. Crawford faced his toughest challenge late in the second period, making a shoulder save on Scott Niedermayer's shot form the slot with 2:20 remaining. While shorthanded, Crawford stopped Teemu Selanne's initial shot followed by Ryan Getzlaf's rebound attempt from close range with five seconds remaining.
