Stars' Kari Lehtonen "not doing well" after last night's collision

After last night's Dallas Stars 4-3 win over the Minnesota Wild, Stars coach Lindy Ruff was upset about the hit that took his star goaltender out of the game at 6:37 of the third period. The Wild's Erik Haula came barreling over Lehtonen, causing the goaltender to lose his helmet and fall backwards, hitting the back of his head against the crossbar. Lehtonen immediately left the ice, looking very dazed as he was bleeding from his head.

In addition to stitches for the wound, it's probable Lehtonen suffered a concussion. Haula recieved 15 minutes in penalties, a major for charging and a 10 minute game misconduct.
