As the season continues to go by, the Carolina Hurricanes are getting a clearer picture of why supposed starting goalie Scott Darling is not the answer, long-term. Cam Ward is getting the bulk of the starts since the final games in December.
The real shame is that the Canes bought into Darling before he even played a single game with the franchise. Through nearly 30 games this season, Darling has less than 10 wins and a save percentage of just .892. Meanwhile, Ward is producing at his usual level between the pipes.
Ward just looks a lot better this season since Darling is not performing anywhere close to what was expected.
