Lehtonen was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate and is thus in line to start Saturday against the Devils, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Analysis:

Lehtonen has likely been stewing since Tuesday about his disastrous performance against the Jets, which saw him get pulled early after allowing three goals on 17 shots. Unfortunately, porous performances such as these have been far too common for Lehtonen, who enters Saturday's game with a 3.10 GAA and .902 save percentage over 23 games. Both of those are well below the league average, but with no reliable backup behind him, he'll continue to shoulder the load for the Stars.
