Robin Lehner has grown into a giant during the NHL playoffs and kept a clean sheet two days ago when Vegas defeated Vancouver in the seventh and decisive quarterfinals.
"Best chance to win"
But in the first meeting with Dallas, the Swede was poked in favor of three-time Stanley Cup winner Marc-André Fleury.
- I made the decision to play Marc-Andre for the same reason I chose to start with Lehner in match seven last time.
We thought it would give us the best chance to win, coach Pete DeBoer explained after the match.
The next meeting between the teams is the night before Wednesday, Swedish time.
