Blackhawks' Darling records first 2 shutouts a year apart, sets obscure record

Well this is a record that may never be broken.

With a 4-0 win over Winnipeg on Friday, Scott Darling of the Chicago Blackhawks made NHL history by becoming the first goalie to record his first two career shutouts exactly one year apart.

His previous shutout came on March 18, 2015, when he stopped all 25 shots fired at him by the New York Rangers.

Ever the team player, all Darling cared about was securing the two points.

Darling: "That's all we all wanted tonight was to get a win, didn't matter how. That's what we came to do and that's what we really needed."

No word on whether the other 29 teams will petition to give the Blackhawks an off day on March 18, 2017.
