Corey Crawford has been rock-solid in the third period for the Chicago Blackhawks this year.
The veteran goaltender entered Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers with a .971 save percentage when leading after two periods, stopping 101-of-104 shots in three games.
That trend continued as Crawford turned aside all 15 Flyers shots in the final frame, and 35 shots in the game, leading the Blackhawks to a 3-0 victory.
