Stars' Kari Lehtonen: Starting in net Thursday

Lehtonen will defend the crease for Thursday night's game in Chicago.

Analysis:

Over his last three starts, Lehtonen is the owner of a .939 save percentage and 1.68 GAA, both of which are light years better than his season averages. However, he'll have to face one of the NHL's elite Thursday, as the Blackhawks are currently in the running for the President's Trophy and boast 3.09 goals per game in March.
