VANCOUVER, B.C. — Kari Lehtonen resorted to a well-placed elbow Friday night as he was attempting to protect his crease from encroachers in Edmonton.
Is he secretly a fan of the Von Erichs?
Maybe studying up for a career in MMA?
Nah, the Stars goalie said it was more a tribute of sorts to past hockey heroes.
"That's something I learned from watching tapes of Ed Belfour," Lehtonen joked.
If that's what it takes to keep the crease clean, the Stars aren't complaining. After all, Belfour was pretty successful in his time in Dallas.
