Sabres' Robin Lehner: Gets start against Anaheim

Lehner will be the starting netminder for Thursday's tilt with Anaheim, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Analysis:

In Lehner's last six contests, he has gone 3-2-1 with a 2.46 GAA and .935 save percentage while seeing 38.7 shots per game. Some goalies tend to thrive when they face a near-constant stream of rubber, and Lehner seems to fit that mold. Lucky for him, the Sabres allow more shots per game than anyone in the league, while his Thursday opponents rank 22nd in scoring with 2.55 goals per game.
