Blackhawks place Crawford on IR with undisclosed injury

The Chicago Blackhawks placed starting netminder Corey Crawford on injured reserve on Friday with an undisclosed injury, the team announced.

Crawford played all 60:51 of the Blackhawks' loss Thursday to the Dallas Stars, but seemed to be laboring near the end of the game. No official update on his status was provided.

In a corresponding roster move, Chicago recalled goaltender Jean-Francois Berube from the AHL's Rockford Icehogs.

Crawford has an 11-7-2 record along with a 2.29 goals-against average and .930 save percentage across 21 games this season. Meanwhile, Berube has experienced an up-and-down year in Rockford, registering a 6-6-0 record and two shutouts.
