The Dallas Stars appear to be sticking with their goalies as long as they win, and after Antti Niemi allowed five goals in Friday's loss, head coach Lindy Ruff is returning Kari Lehtonen to the net for Game 6 on Sunday against the Minnesota Wild.

Lehtonen was incredible in the opening two games of the series, stopping 47 of 48 shots over a pair of wins, but followed that up by allowing 4 goals during the Stars' first loss of the series in Game 3.
The Wild, meanwhile, will stick with Devan Dubnyk who made 37 saves in Minnesota's overtime victory in Game 5. He has started every game for his team in the series.
