The odds are against Dallas with just two games left, but they'll presumably stick with Lehtonen as long as they have a chance to qualify.","date":"Thu Apr 25"},"fullName":"Kari Lehtonen","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Never much of a ratios whiz during his time in Atlanta or Dallas, Lehtonen busted the door down in 2011-12, finishing with a 2.33 GAA and .922 SV%, good for tenth and eighth, respectively, in the NHL. Add his 32 wins into the mix, and you have the No. 10 goalie on our Player Rater for last season. So, the million dollar question is: Was 2011-12 the start of a new trend, or an outlier on the career trajectory? The Stars invested big money on free agents in the summer prior to last season, and most of them return for 2012-13. The club was busy this offseason again, trading away Mike Ribeiro and Steve Ott, but getting Cory Eakin and Derek Roy in return, as well as signing Jaromir Jagr. Cautious optimism is the play here on Lehtonen; draft him as your second goalie and hope for another big year.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Tue Sep 11"},"playerRater30DAY":-3.7,"playerRater15DAY":-0.4,"positionRank":25}
