"By this time last season, Corey Crawford already had secured the starting spot in goal over Marty Turco for the stretch run.

It's time to find out who that goalie will be this year.

While help might arrive on the blue line via a trade, the Hawks won't be pursuing a goalie. It will be either Crawford or veteran Ray Emery.

"I don't want to forecast or say exactly how it's going to play out," coach Joel Quenneville said Sunday. "Ray has done a good job, and [Crawford], we have to get him some confidence."

Although he won't announce until Monday who his goalie will be Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche, Quenneville made similar comments in December when Emery started six games in a row and Crawford worked longer practices."
