Blackhawks put Crawford back on injured reserve

Disaster has struck once again for the Chicago Blackhawks, as netminder Corey Crawford has been placed on injured reserve for the second time in a month, the team announced Wednesday.

In a corresponding move, goalie Jeff Glass was recalled from the AHL.

Crawford was placed on IR on Dec. 1 with an undisclosed injury, but returned in the middle of the month in top form, winning five of his seven starts.

This season, Crawford owns a 16-9-2 record, accompanied by the league's second-best save percentage (.929) and the third-ranked goals-against average (2.27).
