Vancouver, BC (Sports Network) - Dallas Stars goaltender Kari Lehtonen left
Friday's contest against the Vancouver Canucks in the first period with a
lower body injury.
After making his seventh save of the opening stanza, Lehtonen pointed toward
his left leg and immediately called for the trainer near the midway mark of
the frame.
He was replaced by Richard Bachman and the Stars ruled him unlikely to return
to the contest.
Lehtonen entered Friday's play with a 7-2-1 record through 10 starts.
