Here are five takeaways from the Blackhawks' 2-1 win over the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night:
1. Scott Darling shows no signs of rust.
In his first start since March 1 due to a hand injury that sidelined him for almost two weeks, Darling returned between the pipes and picked up right where he left off. He turned aside 33 of 34 shots to earn his 17th win of the season, increasing his league-leading save percentage to .933. He also improved to 5-0-0 in his last five starts, and has a .963 save percentage during that span.
