Darling turned away 29 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 onslaught of Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Darling saw his offense produce five or more goals for the third straight game, which ultimately has led to three wins for the netminder despite giving up 10 markers in that span. The game was over after the second period, as Chicago built a 5-0 lead to the tune of three power-play tallies. With Corey Crawford (upper body) on the cusp of returning to action, Darling's services will be appreciated, but he'll still return to the backup role.

Darling will man the crease Tuesday against the Coyotes, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Darling will suit up for his 10th start in a row as he continues to fill in for starter Corey Crawford (upper body). In those outings, the 27-year-old went 5-3-1 despite registering a 2.75 GAA. Look for the netminder to return to the bench when Crawford gets back on the ice.

Darling stopped 42 of the 46 shots he faced in Sunday's 6-4 victory over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
It was another shaky start for Darling, but it resulted in his second straight win, despite allowing four goals in each start. The numbers have not been great for the backup netminder since taking over the starting job for the injured Corey Crawford. The 27-year-old has allowed four goals three times in his last six starts. However, he has the luxury of playing behind a talented team, and that has translated into five wins over the last nine starts. Crawford was practicing on the ice Saturday, so Darling could be returning to his usual backup role in the near future.

Darling will start in Sunday's away game against the Bruins, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Normally the backup netminder, Darling is set for his ninth consecutive game while Corey Crawford remains out with an upper-body injury. He's compiled a 4-3-1 record with a 2.58 GAA and a .912 save percentage. The 27-year-old goaltender hasn't had much time to rest lately, but is a solid fantasy option to protect the net for both season-long and daily contests.

Darling made 28 saves on 32 shots in an overtime win against the Jets on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Darling is trying to shoulder the load for the Blackhawks while Corey Crawford is out with an injury, and he's been uneven. In his last five starts, two of them have been very good, and three of them have seen him give up at least three goals without a save percentage higher than .875.

Darling will start between the pipes in Thursday night's away game against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Darling continues to start for the Blackhawks as Corey Crawford is still out with an upper-body injury. The American goaltender has compiled a 3-3-1 record and a .918 save percentage in seven consecutive games. He is a solid goaltender who helped Chicago clinch a playoff spot, but the Blackhawks are surely anticipating the return of Crawford as the playoffs approach.

Darling allowed three goals on 17 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Darling was no match for the Wild, who have now won six consecutive games. The netminder has just three wins in March (one shutout), but continues to be the go-to between the pipes while Corey Crawford recovers from an upper-body ailment. The 27-year-old has registered a 2.51 GAA and .914 save percentage in limited action to date.

Darling will get the start in goal in Tuesday's road game against the Wild, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Darling has played well lately, posting a 2-0-0 record with a 1.50 GAA and .950 save percentage in his last two outings. The 2007 sixth-round pick will look to earn a third consecutive win Tuesday in an unfavorable road matchup with a red-hot Minnesota club that has won five consecutive games.

Darling stopped 26 of 28 shots in Sunday's win over Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
Darling's strong outing helped Chicago clinch a playoff berth for the eighth consecutive season. The 27-year-old has played very well since Corey Crawford went down with an upper-body injury. Darling has won three of his last four games and has boosted his save percentage to .917 in the process. With Crawford sidelined, Darling makes for a very attractive fantasy option on a Chicago team that has scored seven goals in their last two games.

Darling will tend the twine Sunday against the Canucks, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thrust into a starting role following Corey Crawford's upper-body injury, Darling has responded well for the most part. He stopped 31 of the 32 shots he faced in Saturday's game against the Flames, and the Blackhawks will return look his direction again Sunday. He will match up with Ryan Miller and a Canucks club that's dropped seven straight and hasn't scored more than two goals over that span. Despite the lack of rest, Darling should be a good option in both season-long and daily contests.
