Kari Lehtonen definitely didn’t have any fun during Tuesday night’s game against the Predators.
The Stars goalie took over for Antti Niemi, who was pulled after allowing four goals. Soon after entering the game, Lehtonen was greeted with a Shea Weber slapshot to the groin.

As expected, he was down for a while, and we wouldn’t blame him if he was still like this:

Lehtonen bravely stayed in the game, but Dallas fell to Nashville 5-3.
