Scott Darling is off to a good start in his tenure with the Carolina Hurricanes after coming over from the Chicago Blackhawks. Cam Ward was the starter for the Canes for more than the last decade and Darling has a tall task in front of him.
The hopes of Canes fans largely lie with Darling. Carolina has not been on the receiving end of good enough goaltending to get carried to the playoffs since 2009. However, Darling gives fans new hope after a long period of having only one option between the pipes.
To start the season, Darling had some up and down performances.
