The Chicago Blackhawks have reassigned goaltender Corey Crawford (6-2, 201) to the American Hockey League’s Rockford IceHogs.

Crawford, 23, did not appear in any games with Chicago after being recalled from Rockford on Nov. 28. He has notched a 6-3-0 record with a 2.75 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage in nine appearances with the IceHogs this season.

The Montreal, Quebec, native appeared in a National Hockey League career-high five games with the Blackhawks last season, registering a 1-2 record with a 2.14 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage.
