(SportsNetwork. Trey Wingenter Jersey .com) - The red-hot Chicago Blackhawks are expected to get another lift on Saturday night when starting netminder Corey Crawford returns to action to face the Columbus Blue Jackets. Crawford has missed Chicagos past eight games with a left foot ailment, though the Blackhawks went a healthy 7-1-0 over that span. Still, the return of the 29-year-old netminder can only further help as he has gone 12-5-1 this season with a 1.87 goals against average and .929 save percentage in 18 starts. Crawford returns to a favorable matchup as well. Chicago has won 13 straight over Columbus since a loss on Feb. 18, 2011, and has a victory in nine consecutive trips to Ohio. Crawford is 10-2-0 with a 1.82 GAA and .942 save percentage in 12 career games versus the Blue Jackets. Saturday will mark his first start this season since Nov. 29. Ive been feeling real good in practice and working really hard. (The) quickness is there, quick feet and recoveries to rebounds is there too. Right now I feel good, said Crawford. Chicago as a whole should be feeling good considering Tuesdays 5-3 win over the Minnesota Wild was its 10th in 11 games. Patrick Kane had the game-winner, a late power-play goal that came after the Blackhawks failed to hold a 3-1 lead. Kane, Brent Seabrook and Jonathan Toews all finished with a goal and two assists, while Ben Smith scored into an empty-net and added an assist. Marian Hossa also scored and Antti Raanta made 26 saves. You have to roll with whatever happens. Obviously you want to keep a lead there, being up 3-1, but they stormed back, said Smith. Theyre a good hockey team. They make plays and found a way to tie it up. But (us) just sticking with our game plan, sticking with what we did well in the second period, scoring three goals, and it was nice getting that power play at the end. Our guys found a way to get the job done. Chicago got the job done despite defenseman Duncan Keith missing the game due to illness. He did return to practice on Friday. The Blue Jackets were among the leagues hottest teams over the course of December, but had a seven-game win streak halted with a 5-4 overtime setback to the Washington Capitals on Thursday. It was Columbus first defeat since Nov. 29 and came in the opener of a five-game homestand. Michael Chaputs first career NHL goal had given Columbus a 4-3 lead with 4:25 remaining in regulation, but Troy Brouwer answered for the Capitals just 1:25 later to send the game into extra time and Eric Fehr potted the winner 42 seconds into overtime. It marked the fifth straight game for the Blue Jackets that has gone to either overtime or a shootout. Im disappointed the way the game ended, because we had two leads, two opportunities to earn a win in regulation, said Blue Jackets head coach Todd Richards. It leaves you with a little bitter taste, just because there were opportunities. Nick Foligno scored twice -- including the 100th of his career -- and assisted on Jack Johnsons power-play goal for Columbus, which received 31 saves from Sergei Bobrovsky in defeat. Bobrovsky is 1-2-1 in his career versus the Blackhawks with a 2.76 GAA and .921 save percentage. Francisco Mejia Jersey . "Last year we were in a ton of situations, late-game situations we couldnt pull out. Wed kind of fold under the pressure, get frustrated or let a big shot frustrate us," guard DeMar DeRozan said.
