Corey Crawford wasn’t selected as an All-Star this year, but he’s playing like one Tuesday night.

Crawford preserved a 2-1 Blackhawks lead in the third period as he made five consecutive saves on one sequence against Colorado.

Andrew Desjardins even got a save in.

The Avalanche had just eight shots through the first two periods, but they came out firing in the third with eight shots through the period’s first four minutes.
