**Corey Crawford is keeping the Blackhawks afloat in Patrick Kane’s absence. (Chicago Tribune)
**Bryan Bickell is mad. Bryan Bickell says Bryan Bickell plays better when Bryan Bickell is mad. (Sun Times)
**Kevin Shattenkirk says he’s on track in his recovery. (STL Today)
**Old pal Nick Leddy is expected to miss the next two weeks. (Lighthouse)
**The news is better elsewhere in New York, as the Rangers are now atop the East. (NHL)
**Ryan Getzlaf started 2-for-2 against the Flames last night. (SBN)
**Get ’em while they’re hot! (Broad Street)
