The good news for the Chicago Blackhawks is they have depth in goal to withstand the loss of Corey Crawford for a few weeks.That depth will be tested again as one of the leagues top rookies takes the United Center ice for the first time Sunday when the Blackhawks face red-hot Patrik Laine and the Winnipeg Jets.Chicago (16-7-3) returns home after a 3-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. But the loss overshadowed news before the game that Crawford -- a five-time 30-game winner -- will miss up to three weeks after undergoing an emergency appendectomy.Hes the best goalie in the league, him and Carey Price (of the Montreal Canadiens), you could put them in a category by themselves, backup Scott Darling said of Crawford. He brings it every night. Hes been great for us all year. And hes just a great guy. ... I hope hes getting better. The Blackhawks tweeted Saturday evening that Crawford traveled back to Chicago with the team. If Crawford misses three weeks, he could return Dec. 27 at home against Winnipeg. Until then, Chicago is scheduled to play 10 games -- including two matchups with the New York Rangers, who lead the league with 3.64 goals per game through Saturday.Darling, who hasnt started at home since Nov. 6, is 4-1-1 with a 2.81 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage overall this season. Hes won all three starts on Chicagos West Side, despite having allowed 10 goals on 105 shots faced.Defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson isnt worried.We have plenty of confidence in (Darling). We all know how well he can play, and I think hes more than ready for an opportunity to play some games in a row, he said. ... I think hes going to be doing a great job as hes been doing, pretty much every time hes been playing for us.Since a loss in their season opener, Chicago is 10-0-2 at the Madhouse on Madison, having scored at least four goals seven times. Over those 12 games, Artem Anisimov and Marian Hossa have scored a team-best seven goals for the Blackhawks, and five of Hossas markers have come in the last five games.The Blackhawks may need a lot from their offense while the defense has the task of trying to slow down Laine, arguably the Jets best player -- certainly their most exciting -- since Teemu Selanne. Laine scored a goal and assisted on Bryan Littles game-winner 17 seconds into overtime as Winnipeg (12-13-2) topped the St. Louis Blues 3-2 on Saturday.It feels good ... but now we have to forget this game and focus on (Sunday), said Laine as the Jets look for back-to-back road wins for the first time this season.Laine, taken second overall in Junes NHL Draft, shares the NHL lead in goals with Sidney Crosby (16) and leads all rookies in points (23). One of those goals came in a 4-0 victory over the Blackhawks on Nov. 15 in Winnipeg.So far, Laine has not been as productive playing on the road. In 14 games, the 18-year-old has three goals and five assists, and Winnipeg is 1-5-2 when he fails to register a point away from the MTS Centre.Saturdays win snapped a six-game road losing streak, and was more impressive as the Jets played without leading scorer Mark Scheifele (13 goals, 13 assists) due to a lower-body injury.We dont think this is a long-term (injury) or he wouldnt have taken the morning skate. He wasnt as mobile as he needs to play, Jets coach Paul Maurice said after the win, adding that Scheifele could be in the lineup against the Blackhawks.Following its relocation from Atlanta in 2011, Winnipeg is 4-4-0 in Chicago, and has been limited to a total of one goal while dropping the last two matchups.Hopefully we come into Chicago and have some legs (Sunday), that would be another two big points for us, said Little, who has two goals and an assist in two games after missing 23 with a lower-body injury.
