Richard Bachman made 34 saves in the Stars' 3-0 loss to the Red Wings on Saturday night.
The Stars finish the year with a disappointing 22-22-4 record. Bachman had a good run of starts recently where he was very good, but he was undone by a lousy stretch at the beginning of the year. He had a 6-6-0 record, 3.25 goals-against average and .885 save percentage this season.

Richard Bachman will get the start for the Stars in their season finale.
Bachman has a 3.28 GAA and .880 save percentage in 12 games. Dallas has been eliminated from playoff consideration.

Richard Bachman blamed himself for a 5-2 loss Monday to the conference leading Chicago Blackhawks.
Bachman had been great of late in relief of Kari Lehtonen as he was named the NHL's third star of the week with a 1.09 GAA and a .963 save percentage in winning three straight games. But it was different on Monday as he gave up four goals on 27 shots. "There's a reason they're the No. 1 team in the league," Bachman said. "They're a good squad. They capitalize, but we really hung in there for the majority of the game. Even to start that third, we gave ourselves a chance there. I've got to make one or two more saves to kind of put us in a better position." Kari Lehtonen is getting healthy so this could have been Bachman's last start for a while.

Richard Bachman made 23 saves on 27 shots in the Stars' 5-2 loss to the Hawks Monday night.
Number one goaltender Kari Lehtonen remains day-to-day with a groin injury. However, Bachman has been playing really well in his absence. He was named the third star of the week after posting a 1.09 GAA and .963 save percentage in three straight victories. He's worth a look for owners in deeper leagues who need help between the pipes down the stretch. Bachman may be called upon to play more if Lehtonen's "mild" lower-body injury keeps him out of the lineup for an extended period of time.

Richard Bachman is projected to start on Monday.
Bachman was named the third star of the week after posting a 1.09 GAA and .963 save percentage in three straight victories. He's been playing between the pipes while Kari Lehtonen recovers from a groin injury.

Cristopher Nilstorp will back him up as Kari Lehtonen isn't ready to return yet from a lower-body injury. Adjust your lineup accordingly.

Richard Bachman will probably be in Dallas' crease again for Saturday's match-up against San Jose.
Kari Lehtonen (lower body) took to the ice with injured winger Lane MacDermid (chest) for some extra work in the morning, which indicates that Lehtonen isn't ready to return.

Kari Lehtonen remains day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Bachman certainly didn't set the world on fire in the NHL before he got sent down to the Texas Stars of the AHL a few weeks ago. However, he's worth a look for owners who need help between the pipes down the stretch. Bachman may be called upon to play more if Lehtonen's "mild" lower-body injury keeps him out of the lineup for an extended period of time.

Richard Bachman will start and Cristopher Nilstorp will be the backup for the Dallas Stars on Friday.
Meanwhile, Kari Lehtonen remains day-to-day with his lower-body injury. At some point, the Stars would be wise to grow comfortable enough with one of Bachman/Nilstorp to play them more frequently, because it's plausible that Lehtonen's workload might explain some of his health problems.

Richard Bachman was thrust into action Tuesday night, due to an injury to Kari Lehtonen, and he performed well in a 5-1 victory over Los Angeles.
He stopped all 22 shots he faced, including 17 in the second period, in the match to record his fourth win of the year. Bachman may be called upon to play more if Lehtonen's "mild" lower-body injury keeps him out of the lineup.

Bachman certainly didn't set the world on fire in the NHL as he was 2-3-0 this season with a 4.27 GAA and a .838 save percentage. He will get some starts in the American Hockey League and hopefully can turn his game around.

Richard Bachman didn't have a very good night in Tuesday's 5-4 win in overtime over Columbus.
He allowed four goals on just 20 shots, but got plenty of support offensively to get his second win of the 2013 campaign. Bachman played instead of Cristopher Nilstorp, but could be ticketed for the minors with Kari Lehtonen slated to be back soon.

Richard Bachman is the likely starter in goal Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Bachman was the first goalie off the ice as Tuesday's morning skate, which is a bit surprising considering most expected Cristopher Nilstorp to get Tuesday's start. Kari Lehtonen said he expects to return to action Thursday, so fantasy owners and the Stars only have to deal with Bachman and Nilstorp for one more game.

Richard Bachman was beaten four times on 26 shots Sunday as the Stars dropped a 4-3 decision to Calgary.
The absence of the injured Kari Lehtonen was felt in this game, as it was certainly a winnable one for Dallas. Bachman has done a decent job in goal when he's been needed, but there's a strong possibility that Cristopher Nilstorp is in goal for the Stars' next outing.

Richard Bachman will play between the pipes on Sunday.
Bachman is filling in for Kari Lehtonen (groin), who is on the injured reserve list. Bachman has a 3.89 GAA and .861 save percentage in four games this season.

Bachman won't get to play very often behind Kari Lehtonen, but he'll usually perform better than this. He allowed four goals on 10 shots in the first period alone.

Richard Bachman took the ice for Wednesday's optional skate and appears to be the team's starter against Calgary.
He has a 0-1-0 record in two appearances for the Stars this season to go with a 1.88 GAA and a .944 save percentage. Kari Lehtonen played Tuesday night in a 4-1 win over Edmonton and the Stars play again Friday at Vancouver, so it makes sense for him to get the night off.

Richard Bachman made 32 saves Saturday night as the Stars fell to the Coyotes 2-0.
The Stars did their young netminder no favors in his first start of the year as they were forced to kill off seven penalties in the game. Though the Stars were successful on six of those, there's just not much rhythm to gain when you're constantly playing a man down. Dallas was outshot 34-17 and had just one power-play opportunity.

Richard Bachman will probably get the nod on Saturday.
It would be Bachman's first start of the season. He has a 2.46 GAA and .916 save percentage in four AHL games in 2012-13.

With Cristopher Nilstorp on the IR, the Dallas Stars recalled goalie Richard Bachman from the minors.
Bachman did pretty well last season backing up Kari Lehtonen - to the extent that some were surprised that Nilstorp took the No. 2 spot to start this season. Both Nilstorp and Lehtonen seem banged up, so keep an eye out for updates. Bachman could be more than just a backup for at least a small chunk of time.

Richard Bachman has been sent down to the minors.
Bachman was expected to start the season as the Stars' number two netminder, but it looks like that won't be the case. He had a 2.77 GAA and .909 save percentage in 18 games last season.

Bachman should be the favorite to win this competition due to his NHL experience, but he has been away from hockey during the lockout while Nilstrop has been playing with the Texas Stars of the AHL. It should be an interesting battle, if only because very few teams will have the time to hold full-fledged battles.
