DENVER — Corey Crawford is having arguably the best season of his career. On Saturday night, he was rewarded for it.
Crawford won his second William M. Jennings Trophy, sharing the honor with Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price. The award is given annual to the goaltender(s) who played at least 25 games for the club allowing the fewest goals. The Blackhawks and Canadiens each gave up 189 goals this season.

This is the first time goaltenders on two different teams shared the award since 2002-03 (Martin Brodeur for New Jersey and Roman Cechmanek and Robert Esche for Philadelphia).
Crawford claimed the Jennings Trophy in the 2012-13 season, when the Blackhawks went on to win their second Stanley Cup in four seasons. Crawford finished this regular season 32-20-5 with a 2.27 goals-against average and .924 save percentage.
