Darling stopped 32 of 33 shots in Sunday's victory over the Senators. Making his NHL debut, Darling was strong in net and withstood an Ottawa attack in the third period that featured 16 shots. He was impressive with AHL Rockford this season as well, with a 2-0-0 record, 1.44 GAA, and .948 save percentage. Despite his performance, it seems likely that Darling will be sent back down when Corey Crawford (upper body) returns, though he could see some more NHL playing time with more efforts like Sunday's.
