Darling will make a start in goal Thursday against Washington, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darling was the victor in his season debut Oct. 10, denying 28 of 29 shots in a home contest against the Islanders. Corey Crawford is the regular starting goalie for the defending Stanley Cup champions, but Darling has proven he can hold his own when sent between the pipes. Last season, for instance, he posted a spectacular 1.94 GAA and .936 save percentage in 14 games with the Blackhawks.
