What It Means:

Not the showing the 'Hawks were expecting against a division rival who is ahead of them in the standings. Darling had played relatively well during Corey Crawford's absence, but he may be wearing down after making his fourth consecutive start.

The 27-year-old has a 7-7-3 record with a 2.59 goals against average and .913 save percentage. Chicago has dropped six of their last seven games.
