Darling was named Saturday's road starter versus the Stars, Sean Shapiro of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The American -- he hails from Virginia -- has been inconsistent as Carolina's No. 1 netminder, though he did snag a key road win over the Flames his last time out. Darling catches the Stars at a particularly bad time, as they've won three consecutive games with 11 goals scored over that span.

Darling made 25 saves in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Darling's shutout bid was ended by Sean Monahan with 3:28 to play, but the former Chicago netminder held on for the victory to improve to 2-1-1 with his new team. While he came in with an ugly .893 save percentage, this effort raised Darling's season mark to a more respectable .911.

Darling will be pitted against the Flames for a road start Thursday, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the fourth consecutive start for Darling, who owns a 1-1-1 record, 2.58 GAA and .893 save percentage this early in his debut season with the Hurricanes. Those numbers leave a lot to be desired, and now he'll be fielding pucks from a Calgary team that has won four of its last five games.

Darling made 19 saves in a 2-1 loss to the Jets on Saturday night.

EDGE Analysis

Darling really hasn't faced much rubber and has done well. But he can't win the games himself and his mates need to step up and snipe a bit more. Darling has only had two goals of support over the course of the last two games. He remains a solid breakout candidate, but the Canes need to score more to make that happen.

Darling will start in goal for Saturday's road clash against the Jets, Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The American netminder has been a bit of a mixed bag as the former Blackhawk settles as a first-time starter with a new cub. He snagged a win over the Wild in his season debut, stopping 23 of 27 shots at home, but that was his weaker of the two outings. This past Tuesday, he took Columbus through the overtime stanza, ultimately skating away with a loss after young forward Sonny Milano put his second goal of the game past the goal stripe. Darling has a career road record of 20-11-5 in 43 appearances, but again, those all took place with a very competitive Blackhawks team.

Darling turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

Only Sonny Milano was able to solve Darling, breaking a scoreless tie with 9:59 to play then potting the overtime winner after Jeff Skinner forced the extra session with a late goal. Darling ranked sixth in the NHL with a .924 save percentage as a member of the Blackhawks last season, but his .889 mark through two starts with the Hurricanes leaves a lot to be desired.

Darling will patrol the blue paint against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darling got a win in his first start of the season, despite giving up four goals to the Wild. The 28-year-old will be hoping for a significantly better performance versus Columbus -- a team he has yet to face in his career.

Darling made 23 saves in a 5-4 shootout win Friday over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Welcome to the world of starters, Mr. Darling. He remains a sleeper darling for many experts and now has his first win as an official top dog. We remain bullish on him -- the Canes could really surprise.

Darling will work between the pipes as Saturday's home starter versus the Wild, the Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was some speculation that Cam Ward would get the honorary start given that he's been so loyal to the franchise with 12 years of service time, but instead, they'll run with Darling, the undisputed No. 1 tender who signed a four-year, $16.6 million contract with the Hurricanes last May. The 28-year-old fashioned a 2.37 GAA and .924 save percentage with the Blackhawks from 2014-17.

Darling (undisclosed) will suit up for Monday's preseason tilt against Edmonton, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The newly acquired netminder had been dealing with some bumps and bruises since the beginning of camp which prevented him from participating in each of the team's four preseason contests up to this point. The team hasn't announced what kind of workload Darling will get Monday, but one would expect that he'll play at least half of the game.
