Scouting the Stars

A reminder that tonight’s game, with a 5:30 p.m. Pacific time start, is being televised exclusively on Versus. As always, Nick Nickson and Daryl Evans will have the radio call as well. Kari Lehtonen, who has been hot of late, will get the call in goal again tonight for the Stars. Lehtonen is 0-2 against the Kings this season but is 4-0-1 in his last five starts and hasn’t allowed more than two regulation goals in a game since Dec. 31. Dallas’ Jamie Langenbrunner, recently acquired from New Jersey, is scheduled to play in his 1,000th regular-season NHL game tonight. For the latest on the Stars, check out previews from the Dallas Morning News and ESPNDallas.com, and here’s how the Stars and Kings are expected to line up tonight…
