After an awful turnover led to a short-handed goal, which was quickly followed by a Tomas Hertl goal, things looked a little dicey for the Stars. Fortunately, the team held on and emerged from the Shark Tank with a 4-2 victory in hand.
And because Antti Niemi stopped 34 of 36 shots against his former team, Mike Heika looked again at the Stars' goalie tandem and noted that Lindy Ruff said he doesn't need to make a decision on a starter for the playoffs until the season ends.
He [Niemi] moves to 23-12-7 while Lehtonen is now 22-10-2_ the first time in franchise history the Stars have had two 20-game winners.
