Reply With QuoteHe may.. but I think dallas would be smart not to push their luck. Raycroft has been posting decent numbers in the backup role thus far, so it doesnt hurt to give Lehtonen a rest once in a while down the stretch so he's ready for the playoffs.
Lehtonen's Conditioning
I was just reading an article about Lehtonen putting in serious effort to improve his conditioning, thus diminishing the injury risk.
His results seem to point him the right direction, but will he put in another 30 starts? (of the 38ish games remaining)
I think he will. Anyone think otherwise?

I just checked their schedule and Dallas only has 5 more B2B so that doesn't increase the odds of Raycroft getting more starts than his current pace. I would agree it comes down to coaching and if they decide to rest him a bit before the final run to the playoffs.
