The Blackhawks announced after Tuesday's game that they have activated Corey Crawford from injured reserve and reassigned Lars Johansson to the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League.

Crawford, who's been sidelined since Dec. 3 after undergoing an appendectomy, skated in Chicago for five or six days during the team's recent three-game road trip, and participated in the morning skate Tuesday.

The 31-year-old goaltender was 12-6-2 with a 2.27 goals against average, .927 save percentage and two shutouts before the surgery.
