Darling stopped 27 of 30 shots in Thursday's overtime win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Darling was making his first appearance since Dec.10, as the 27-year-old doesn't see much action behind workhorse Corey Crawford. With the win, Darling advances to 3-3-2 on the season with a .907 save percentage. He's only made nine appearances this year, but he's a talented enough goaltender to be used as a reliable spot start whenever Crawford gets a rest.
