Antti Niemi gets some rest after a poor outing versus the Chicago Blackhawks and Kari Lehtonen tags in tonight versus the Minnesota Wild.
February was never going to be particularly kind to the Dallas Stars. The schedule has nine divisional matchups, with four eastern opponents (including the league-leading Washington Capitals) and one Pacific division opponent.
After starting this stretch with a 2-1-0 record on the back of Antti Niemi, with the loss being a miserable thud at home versus the Chicago Blackhawks last Saturday, the Stars will look to Kari Lehtonen to continue the winning record versus the Minnesota Wild tonight.
