Nope, he is getting the start.

"Dallas Stars coach Glen Gulutzan decided to go with Kari Lehtonen for Saturday afternoon's game against Colorado.

There had been some thought to going with backup Richard Bachman because of the tough travel leading up to this game. The Stars won in overtime at Los Angeles on Thursday night, and their charter flight home landed at about 5 a.m. The consensus in all sports is that the day after a red-eye flight is the hardest to handle."

[MB Stars]

GDT fully updated and ready for puck drop!

GO STARS!!!!!!!!!

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Go Stars Go!

[Alistar]

as I said in the Los Angeles GDT, Colorado also seems to play their best game against us and give us fits in our own end

The Stars better be ready for a fast and physical game.

[Elysian]

3rd line starting again.

[Jere26]

Go STARS! Nice early puck drop for us Europeans...

[Alistar]

already Colorado seems quite a bit quicker and harder on the forecheck. This could be a tough afternoon for Dallas

[piqued]

Ott botches yet another breakaway

[Elysian]

Is it me or are the refs missing obvious penalties?
