The Chicago Blackhawks announced today that Scott Darling will be making the start against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday at the United Center. This will be the last Blackhawks’ game before the All-Star break.
Darling getting the start is due to his impressive play in his last two starts and Corey Crawford‘s less than stellar play recently.
Since returning from his appendectomy, Crawford has seen his fair share of struggles. In Crawford’s last five starts, he is 2-3 while allowing 18 goals on 148 shots. His save percentages in those contests were not impressive.
