The Dallas Stars' two-starting goalie approach is on hold.

Kari Lehtonen has been listed as day to day with an upper-body injury following a collision with teammate John Klingberg during Tuesday's loss to Ottawa.

Lehtonen had entered the game in relief of Antti Niemi, who will be pressed into the No. 1 role for the time being. Niemi, who's appeared in two more games than Lehtonen, boasts a save percentage of .907 in 13 appearances.

Prior to the injury, Lehtonen posted a record of 9-1-0 with a .921 save percentage.
