Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting look with Panthers?
Darling reportedly has signed a professional tryout agreement with the Panthers organization, per David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period.
ANALYSIS
A veteran of 126 NHL contests (112 starts), Darling spent the entirety of last season playing in Austria, where he garnered an unsightly 3.34 GAA and .898 save percentage through 33 games with HC Innsbruck. With a 2.72 GAA and 54 wins over five consecutive seasons in the NHL with Chicago and Carolina (2014-19), Darling has shown he can get it done, albeit not always consistently, at hockey's highest level. As such, it appears Florida is willing to give him a shot at the backup gig behind Sergei Bobrovsky. He'll be competing with Chris Driedger, the incumbent No. 2 in Sunrise, and potentially third-stringer Samuel Montembeault as well.

Darling came into the 2017-18 season tabbed as the successor to Cam Ward as the Canes' starting goalie, but he got off to a terrible start, winning just eight of his first 24 games. By the end of December, the club decided it had seen enough and relegated Darling to a backup role with Ward once again inserted as the full-time starter. Darling would proceed to put up the worst numbers of his career, finishing with a 13-21-7 record, 3.18 GAA and .888 save percentage. This season, following Ward's departure as a free agent, the Canes went out and brought in Petr Mrazek who had a combined 14-13-6 record for the Red Wings and Flyers last season. Darling and Mrazek are expected to compete for the No. 1 spot in the Hurricanes' crease in 2018-19.
