Tim Thomas emerged with the win for the Stars after replacing Kari Lehtonen on Saturday night. Lehtonen left in the third period after being run over. In 13:23, Thomas made six saves, a few big ones, to keep Dallas in it and allow it to come out on top. The reason you make a trade for someone like Thomas is for spur-of-the-moment reasons like this. Thomas can obviously also handle being a starter if Lehtonen is sidelined.
