Darling will be between the pipes at home against the Panthers on Monday.

Darling stopped 23 of 24 shots in Saturday's shootout loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Darling stood tall in the loss and was a prime reason the Hurricanes came away with a single point. The 28-year-old bounced back after a disappointing effort against Anaheim in which he was burned for three goals on just 25 shots. While Darling looked great Saturday, it's hard to be confident in him from a fantasy perspective moving forward. He owns a lackluster .903 save percentage and has managed just three wins in nine appearances, so while he may see plenty of action, don't expect impressive numbers.

Darling will tend the twine Saturday against Arizona, Craig Morgan of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After receiving a rest day Thursday following a poor three goal performance against Anaheim, Darling will return to his starting duties. In his first season with Carolina the 28-year-old hasn't been off to a hot start, only recording a mere .897 save percentage in his first eight starts. However with a matchup against a one-win Arizona squad on deck, this is a good opportunity for Darling to deliver his first shut down performance.

Darling allowed three goals on 25 shots in Sunday's shootout loss to Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
Darling didn't look great Sunday evening and saw his save percentage dip to .897 on the season. The 28-year-old netminder hasn't really impressed since arriving in Carolina and his 3-3-2 record includes some very strong showings, but also some lackluster ones. Darling can be of value in some deeper leagues, but the potential of him emerging as a bonafide starting netminder in Carolina remains questionable.

Darling will guard the cage in Sunday's home game against the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Darling hasn't been great this season, posting a 3-3-1 record while recording a 2.70 GAA and .899 save percentage in seven appearances. He'll look to get on track Sunday in a home matchup with an Anaheim team that's 1-2-0 on the road this campaign.

Darling saved 31 of 34 shots during Thursday's 6-3 win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a mediocre starts for the popular breakout candidate, as Darling sports a 3-3-1 record, .899 save percentage and 2.70 GAA. However, he's lost two starts while allowing just two goals, and the Hurricanes might have kick-started their offense with this solid win.This could prove to be a buy-low spot. Additionally, it's clear Carolina views Darling as its clear-cut No.1 goalie, as he's now started seven of eight games.

Darling is slated to start in goal versus the Maple Leafs on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Darling has dropped four of his last five outings, despite registering a decent .906 save percentage. It won't get any easier for the netminder as he travels to Toronto where he will face Auston Matthews and the NHL's most potent offense (4.44 goals per game).

Darling gave up three goals on 27 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
This game was much closer than the final score would indicate, as Darling didn't concede his third goal until there was 2:33 left to play and Tampa Bay tacked on two empty-netters after that. The former Blackhawks backup scuffled down the stretch last season after playing brilliantly for most of the campaign and has continued that downward trend with his new team judging by his .896 save percentage.

Darling will receive the starting nod for Tuesday night's showdown with the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
So far, Darling hasn't performed to the level that many expected him to when he signed with Carolina in the offseason, sporting just two wins to go with an .898 save percentage through five appearances. The Virginia native has gotten a lot of help from his defense too, as he has yet to see more than 27 shots in any game. He makes for an iffy play Tuesday against a Tampa Bay offense that has been one of the league's best, averaging four goals per game.

Darling stopped 22 of 26 shots in Saturday's loss to Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
The Stars are rolling right now and Darling was their latest victim. The 28-year-old is sporting a lackluster .898 save percentage through five appearances, but has come up huge on a few occasions. Cam Ward should see a decent amount of action this season, but the starting gig is Darling's to run away with. His inconsistency early on isn't a great sign, but Darling is worth holding onto, as the potential is there for him to be a valuable fantasy play this season.
