Dallas Stars: Heika: The Stars’ dilemma; what happens when your best players aren’t playing that way | SportsDay
“The Stars have allowed three goals or more in each of their past seven games while going 1-5-1, and both Lehtonen and Niemi have looked bad in the process. Niemi was cruising with a 2.25 GAA and .919 save percentage on Jan. 1, but has been one of the worst goalies in the NHL since. His 6-6-3 record is fine, but his 3.52 GAA and .874 save percentage are alarming.”
Yes, that’s “alarming”.
