The Stars continue to use the strategies that took them to the regular-season Western Conference title as they try to close out their first round series tonight.
The Dallas Stars are going to play with the system that got them this far, no matter how against traditional hockey logic that may be. In this case, that means the Stars appear set to have Antti Niemi in net again tonight for Game 5 against the Minnesota Wild at the American Airlines Center after he was the first goalie off at morning skate.
Kari Lehtonen had played well in the first three games of the series - the loss in Game 3 certainly wasn't his fault - but the Stars were a goalie platoon team all season, and in the same situation game 64, Niemi would have likely gotten consecutive starts for having a solid game and picking up the previous win.
