Stars' Kari Lehtonen: Manning crease for Game 6

Lehtonen will be between the pipes against the Blues for Game 6 on Monday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Despite Lehtonen's struggles, it seems coach Lindy Ruff's Antti Niemi experiment has come to a close, for now, as Lehtonen will make his ninth postseason start. The Stars need to win the next two to stay in the hunt for the Stanley Cup, but given the inconsistency in goal, they should be just as concerned as the fans are about starting Lehtonen. However, unlike fantasy owners, Dallas does not have any better options.
