Stars' Kari Lehtonen: Patrolling crease against Sabres

Lehtonen will tend the twine for Monday's matchup with Buffalo, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Analysis:

With both netminders struggling, Lehtonen simply finishing the game in goal would be a step in the right direction. In his last five appearances, the 33-year-old has been the goalie of record just twice, going 0-1-1 with a 3.42 GAA in those outings. The Sabres are averaging just 2.29 goals per game -- 27th in the league -- so this could be a solid opportunity for Lehtonen to improve upon his recent performances.
