Ben Bishop, Kari Lehtonen To Split Duties
7 years agoDallas Stars goaltender Ben Bishop will take the crease on Monday night as the Stars host the Ottawa Senators at home. Bishop is coming off a strong performance against the Blues on Sunday, posting an overtime win while stopping 35 of 37 shots against. The American netminder has been inconsistent of late (allowed four or more goals against in three of his past seven starts), but should be started against a struggling Senators team sitting 29th in the league with 54 points. Kari Lehtonen will get the nod on Tuesday as the Stars travel to cap off the second night of a back-to-back set in Nashville. The Predators are riding an eight-game winning streak, but Lehtonen has been excellent on the road this season. Lehtonen has posted eight wins, a 1.87 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage in 12 road starts this season. With that being said, tread cautiously in picking up Lehtonen for any spot start.
