Stars expected to start Cristopher Nihlstorp | 01/20/2013 1:59 PM

News

While the team didn't confirm it, it appears that Cristopher Nihlstorp will get the start for the Dallas Stars.

Mike Heika

Impact

Kari Lehtonen had a busy night on Saturday, so it makes sense that the Stars might roll with Nihlstorp in a back-to-back on Sunday. This could actually be good news for Lehtonen owners because he's one of the league's most injury-prone netminders. Nihlstorp topped Richard Bachman as the team's backup - at least for now.

Nihlstorp projects as Stars number two goalie | 01/18/2013 3:09 PM

News

It looks like Christopher Nihlstorp will start the season as the Dallas Stars' backup goaltender.

Stars.nhl.com

Impact

The Dallas Stars have already demoted Richard Bachman, so that leaves Nihlstorp to fill the role of Kari Lehtonen's understudy. Nihlstorp had a 2.13 GAA and .916 save percentage in 28 AHL games during the lockout. The 28-year-old rookie might end up getting a decent amount of playing time given the condensed schedule and Lehtonen's injury history.
