Darling allowed four goals on 27 shots in a 6-4 victory over the Blues on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old was shaky early, but he made seven saves in the third period, which allowed Chicago to storm back with three unanswered goals. Darling hasn't lost in regulation in his last six starts, but he has yielded four goals in back-to-back games after going four straight only allowing three total goals. Despite Saturday's setback, Darling is 5-2-1 with a 2.01 GAA and .933 save percentage in December.

Darling will guard the goal in Saturday's road game against the Blues, Eric Lear of Blackhawks TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Darling was a tad shaky in his last outing, surrendering four goals on 29 shots in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Islanders, but has otherwise been fantastic in the month of December, posting a 4-2-1 record with an outstanding 1.72 GAA and .943 save percentage over seven appearances. The American netminder will look to pick up a fourth consecutive win in a matchup with a St. Louis team averaging 2.77 goals per game this season, 11th in the NHL.

Darling allowed four goals on 29 shots but still captured a victory over the Islanders on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
His save percentage isn't going to suggest he had a great game, but after yielding three goals in the first period, Darling stopped 17-of-18 attempts in the final two stanzas. Despite allowing four goals, he is 3-0-1 with a 1.40 GAA in his last five appearances. Overall, Darling is 8-2-2 with a 2.18 GAA and .927 save percentage this season.

Darling will guard the cage in Thursday's road game against the Islanders, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Darling was razor-sharp in his last start, turning aside 33 of 34 shots en route to an impressive 2-1 road victory over the Rangers on Tuesday. The 6-foot-6 netminder will look to pick up his eighth win of the season in a decent road matchup with an Islanders team averaging 2.89 goals per game at home this season, 16th in the NHL.

Darling denied the Rangers on 33 of 34 shots to claim a 2-1 road victory Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers came into Chicago and handed Darling an overtime loss despite the 27-year-old making a spectacular 36 saves, but his offense did just a little better at Madison Square Garden, while Darling was dominant once again. He's taken four losses (two in overtime) over his last seven appearances, but they're hardly his fault -- he has a ridiculous .952 save percentage in that span. Corey Crawford (appendix) couldn't have left the Blackhawks in better hands.

Darling will guard the goal in Tuesday's road game against the Rangers, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Darling has played well in the month of December, posting a 2-2-1 record with an outstanding 1.41 GAA and .952 save percentage over five appearances. The American goaltender will look to pick up his seventh win of the season in a tough road matchup with a Rangers team averaging an impressive 3.50 goals per game this season, second in the NHL.

Darling continued his stellar season and allowed just one goal in a 3-1 victory over the Stars on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old has been fantasy relevant as Chicago's backup netminder, going 6-2-2 with a 2.12 GAA and .929 save percentage. In his last three games, he's allowed just two goals, and one of them was in a 3-on-3 overtime. With the NHL's compressed schedule this season, Darling should continue to see regular work and will remain the team's No. 1 starter until Corey Crawford (appendix) returns.

Darling will be between the posts for Sunday's home matchup with the Stars, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Darling has served admirably during the absence of Corey Crawford (appendix), recording an excellent .950 save percentage but managing only one win in four consecutive starts. He'll need some more offensive support from the skaters in front of him if he wants to beat a Dallas team that ranks 16th in the league with 2.57 goals per game.

Darling saved 36 of 37 shots during Friday's overtime loss to New York.
EDGE Analysis
You couldn't ask for much more from Darling. He's going to receive the bulk of starts for Chicago while Corey Crawford (appendix) is out, which skyrockets Darling's fantasy value in the interim and makes him a must-own asset. Plus, he's been solid when called upon and won five of nine starts with a .926 save percentage and a 2.23 GAA. Fantasy owners will want to note it isn't an easy upcoming schedule, though. Chicago hosts Dallas on Sunday and then has a three-game road trip with games against the Rangers, Islanders and Blues.

Darling will guard the goal in Friday's home game against the Rangers, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Darling was razor sharp in his last start, picking up his first shutout of the season in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Coyotes. The American netminder will look to stay hot in a challenging matchup with the Rangers' league-leading offense.
