Darling stopped 28 of 29 shots in Saturday's win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

A great outing for Darling, who was making his season debut. While Corey Crawford is the starter in Chicago, Darling posted a 9-4-0 record with a .936 save percentage last season and is a very reliable backup. If Crawford struggles or goes down with injury, Darling could step in and the Blackhawks wouldn't miss a beat. The 26-year-old only has 15 career regular-season NHL games under his belt, but he's proven he can be trusted whenever called upon.
