Kari Lehtonen expects to return to net Thurs.
Kari Lehtonen - G - Dallas Stars
Feb. 26, 2013 - 1:15 PM ET
Kari Lehtonen (groin) won't play Tuesday night but expects to return in time for Thursday's game.
Lehtonen has been sidelined since suffering the injury Feb. 15 and the Stars have been exceedingly cautious with his recovery. Lehtonen said Tuesday that he's just not ready yet and the Stars have no reason to rush him back and potentially risk losing him for a longer period of time. Look for Cristopher Nilstorp to get the start in net Tuesday night.
