Darling will start between the pipes in Wednesday's home game against the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Darling has been razor-sharp in limited action in February, posting a 3-0-0 record while registering a superb 1.34 GAA and .955 save percentage over three appearances. The impending unrestricted free agent will look to stay hot in a tough home matchup with a high-flying Penguins offense that's averaging 3.04 goals per game on the road this season, fifth in the NHL.

Darling turned aside 30 of 32 shots Sunday in a 4-2 win over the visiting Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Surprisingly thrust into starting duty after Corey Crawford was sidelined with an illness, Darling stood tall against Chicago's division rival. He's now on a three-game winning streak and has performed great in 25 appearances behind Crawford this year, putting up a 2.18 GAA and impressive .929 save percentage while posting a career-high 15 victories.

Darling will start Sunday's game against the Blues after Corey Crawford was scratched due to illness, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darling has performed well in each of his last two starts, allowing a combined two goals and winning both outings. He will look to continue that roll in a surprise start Sunday and will receive backing by the league's top-scoring group (4.44 goals per game) in February.

Darling made 25 saves on 26 shots in a 5-1 victory over the Sabres on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old continues to excel as Chicago's backup netminder. He is now 14-5-2 with a .928 save percentage and 2.19 GAA. Darling posted better numbers in 2014-15, but it was a smaller sample size. As a full time NHL backup, his numbers are clearly better this season, and he has to be started in all standard leagues whenever he's in Chicago's net.

Darling guard the cage Sunday against Sabres, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darling set aside 30 of the 31 shots he faced in his last start and will get the call again just two games later in the second of the team's back-to-back set Sunday. He'll attempt to stymie a Sabres club that's struggled to light the lamp at home this season, notching just 2.41 goals per game at the KeyBank Center.

Darling stopped 30 of 31 shots in Saturday's win over Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Darling continues to deliver when called upon this season, advancing his save percentage to .927. He's appeared in 23 games this year and is as reliable as they come when it comes to backup goalies. Darling loses value due to fact he's playing behind the solid Corey Crawford, but he's a phenomenal backup on one of the top teams in the league, so he's worth owning in some leagues.

Darling will get the start against the Oilers on Saturday, Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

This isn't surprising, considering Corey Crawford started for Chicago on Friday night. Darling has been one of the better backup goalies, as he's currently sporting a 2.31 GAA and a .925 save percentage heading into this matchup with Edmonton.

Darling allowed four goals on 32 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Darling's play has been comparable to that of All-Star teammate Corey Crawford, as he had won seven of his past nine starts coming into this one. The 28-year-old's 2.31 GAA and .925 save percentage both rank in the top 10. His respective career rates of 2.34 and .923 indicate Darling's current pace should be sustainable despite this speed bump.

Darling will be between the pipes Thursday against Winnipeg, The Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darling was marvelous in his last outing against the Bruins, stopping all 30 shots that came his way en route to a 1-0 victory. On the other hand, starter and All-Star Corey Crawford was touched up by one of the league's worst offenses Tuesday, as he surrendered four goals to the Lightning. Crawford has a 3.32 GAA over nine starts in January, while Darling sports an 0.91 mark over three starts, so the Blackhawks will simply ride the hot hand for now. The move will also get Crawford extra rest in advance of Sunday's All-Star game.

Darling stopped all 30 shots he faced during Friday's win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

There have been some ups and downs to this point of the season, but Darling has now stopped 69 of 70 shots over his past two starts. The backup goalie is a strong option in deeper seasonal leagues because he usually provides high-end results when given the starting nod. After all, Darling was 11-4-2 with a .924 save percentage and 2.34 GAA entering Friday's outing and only improved his stat line with his second shutout of the season.
