Kari Lehtonen is off the ice. It looks like Lehtonen vs. Fasth again tonight as the three-game series ends.

Lehtonen has lost five straight starts and allowed 19 goals in that span. This is the third game in a row the Ducks and Stars will face off. The Ducks got the better of Dallas in both games so far, 4-0 and 5-2. Be wary of starting Lehtonen given the Stars weak lineup and the tough matchup.

Kari Lehtonen in goal tonight for Stars.

Lehtonen has lost four consecutive starts while allowing 15 goals. It won't get any easier for him because the Stars traded two of their best offensive threats in Jaromir Jagr (to BOS) and Derek Roy (to VAN). He has a tough matchup tonight vs. a tough Ducks team who shut them out on Monday.

Lehtonen has won each of his last two starts. He recorded a 40-save shutout vs. the Kings and then allowed two goals on 35 shots in a 5-2 win over Colorado. He has a tough matchup tonight vs. a Minnesota team who has won five straight and seven out of their last eight.

Lehtonen will start for the Stars.

Lehtonen snapped a four game losing streak with a 16 save performance in a 4-3 win over Calgary. It was not the best outing for him but it was enough to get the win. He will be back in the cage tonight against a slumping Avalanche team. Lehtonen is 1-0-0 with a 2.02 GAA and .935 SV% in his only start vs. Colorado this season.

Kari Lehtonen, who's 8-5-2, 2.46, .918 vs. Ducks, is going for Dallas.

The Stars are in trouble without their best player Jamie Benn and their captain Brenden Morrow. Lehtonen allowed four goals on 21 shots in his last start vs. the Predators. He will face a much better offense tonight when the Stars take on the Ducks. One positive for him is that Anaheim will be missing Corey Perry who is serving a four game suspension.
