    Dallas Stars coach Ken Hitchcock pulled goalie Kari Lehtonen less than a minute into the second period against the Edmonton Oilers. The move paid off as replacement Ben Bishop shut out the Oilers over the next 39 minutes.

    After the game, Hitchcock had praise for his starter.

    "Ben was good, but if it wasn't for Kari in the first 10 minutes, we wouldn't have been in the game," Hitchcock said.

    Bishop made 17 saves after replacing Lehtonen with Edmonton leading 3-2, and Dallas rallied behind goals from Devin Shore and Radek Faksa to win 6-3 on Saturday.
