Kari's Return Doesn't Live Up to the Hype

The Stars' Most Valuable Player goalie Kari Lehtonen made his return back to the Stars last night. Unfortunately this should have been a game in which the Stars should have won. Stars lost to the last place Columbus Blue Jackets to a final score of 4 to 1. Watching as a Stars fan it was obivous Kari has a little bit of rust since being out with that groin injury I believe 3 weeks ago. The lone Dallas goal came 8:57 into the first period by Vernon Fiddler getting his fifth goal of the season. Lehtonen stats were descent for a return with 25 saves with a save percentage of .893. Blue Jackets goal tender Steve Mason was on fire though with 36 saves with a save percentage of .973. Captain Brenden Morrow suffered a knee injury in the second period once a puck hit it. He is currently listed as probable against the Boston Bruins on Saturday.
