Corey Crawford has long tortured his hometown Canadiens, but he took things to a new level on Saturday, stopping a career-high 48 shots. A welcome sight for the course-correcting Blackhawks. Dixononsports on that and more in his Weekend Takeaways:
: Haven’t scored more than two non-empty-net goals in a game in five outings. Jonathan Drouin has four assists and zero goals in his past 16. Haven’t beaten a team that presently holds a playoff spot since Feb. 19. However this largely pleasant surprise of a season plays out, it’s clear the Canadiens still lack front-line offensive talent.: Eight straight multi-point games for Connor McDavid. If the season was three weeks longer, he’d likely chase down Nikita Kucherov for the scoring title.
• Columbus captured three of four critical points on the weekend, including a must-have, regulation-time victory over Carolina on Friday. Now the Jackets head out for a roadie through Western Canada that starts Tuesday in Calgary. • Alex Ovechkin is two goals shy of his eighth 50-goal season and first since 2016-17. Washington hosts Tampa Bay on Wednesday in a rematch of Saturday’s Bolts victory and, of course, the 2018 Eastern Conference final.
