Dallas Stars notebook: Kari Lehtonen gains confidence from collecting his first series win

Kari Lehtonen said he doesn't feel like a completely new man after winning his first playoff series, but he does feel a little different.

"I'm still the same guy, but I was able to be there in a winning series for the first time, and that's important," Lehtonen said. "I feel my game has been in a good place for the last two and a half months, so I think that gives me confidence. Then, when you have confidence and you get that result, it tells me to keep doing what I'm doing."

Lehtonen went 3-1 in the series with a 2.
