Dallas Stars general manager Jim Nill is content staying the course with the team's goaltending duo.
Despite the club's questionable goaltending performances from both Kari Lehtonen and Antti Niemi - especially during the postseason - Nill said he's comfortable starting the 2016-17 campaign with the two, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
Despite the vote of confidence, rumors surfaced Saturday that the Stars could be kicking the tires on Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop.
Despite leading the league with 3.23 goals per game during the regular season, the Stars had the 19th-best goals-against average at 2.78. They also had the worst GAA of any playoff team to play more than six contests.
