Kari Lehtonen Will Get All The Starts Until Ben Bishop is Healthy
7 years agoDallas Stars head coach Ken Hitchcock said on Tuesday he plans to keep rolling goalie Kari Lehtonen until Ben Bishop (knee) is back from injury. Bishop was on the ice for the morning skate on Monday but is unlikely to play Tuesday in Montreal. The Stars continue to struggle (4-4-2 in their last 10 games), but Lehtonen has been fantastic in his last three starts, sporting a .955 save percentage and 1.33 goals-against average over the span. The Stars should be in for an easy win as they take on the Montreal Canadiens, who have been outscored 9-21 in their last five games and are 3-3-4 in their last 10. With Bishop's timeline uncertain, hang on to Lehtonen, as the Stars play three more games this week.
