Richard Bachman will get the start for the Stars in their season finale.

Richard Bachman blamed himself for a 5-2 loss Monday to the conference leading Chicago Blackhawks.

Bachman had been great of late in relief of Kari Lehtonen as he was named the NHL's third star of the week with a 1.09 GAA and a .963 save percentage in winning three straight games. But it was different on Monday as he gave up four goals on 27 shots. "There's a reason they're the No. 1 team in the league," Bachman said. "They're a good squad. They capitalize, but we really hung in there for the majority of the game. Even to start that third, we gave ourselves a chance there. I've got to make one or two more saves to kind of put us in a better position." Kari Lehtonen is getting healthy so this could have been Bachman's last start for a while.
Apr 16 - 8:27 AM

Richard Bachman made 23 saves on 27 shots in the Stars' 5-2 loss to the Hawks Monday night.

Number one goaltender Kari Lehtonen remains day-to-day with a groin injury. However, Bachman has been playing really well in his absence. He was named the third star of the week after posting a 1.09 GAA and .963 save percentage in three straight victories. He's worth a look for owners in deeper leagues who need help between the pipes down the stretch. Bachman may be called upon to play more if Lehtonen's "mild" lower-body injury keeps him out of the lineup for an extended period of time.

Richard Bachman is projected to start on Monday.

Bachman was named the third star of the week after posting a 1.09 GAA and .963 save percentage in three straight victories. He's been playing between the pipes while Kari Lehtonen recovers from a groin injury.

Netminder Richard Bachman, playing in place of the injured Kari Lehtonen (lower body), turned aside 31 shots in the Dallas Stars' 2-1 victory over the visiting San Jose Sharks Saturday night.

Bachman has been outstanding since stepping in for Lehtonen early in the Stars' 5-1 win over Los Angeles on Tuesday, stopping 79 of 82 shots and winning all three contests.
Apr 14 - 12:09 AM

As expected, Richard Bachman will be between the pipes for Dallas on Saturday night.

Cristopher Nilstorp will back him up as Kari Lehtonen isn't ready to return yet from a lower-body injury. Adjust your lineup accordingly.
Apr 13 - 6:21 PM

Richard Bachman will probably be in Dallas' crease again for Saturday's match-up against San Jose.

Kari Lehtonen (lower body) took to the ice with injured winger Lane MacDermid (chest) for some extra work in the morning, which indicates that Lehtonen isn't ready to return. Bachman made 26 saves in a 5-2 win over Nashville on Friday night and he's stopped 58 of 60 shots, in a pair of victories, while filling in for the Stars' starting netminder.

Richard Bachman made 26 saves on 28 shots in the Stars' 5-2 win over the Predators Friday night.

Kari Lehtonen remains day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Bachman certainly didn't set the world on fire in the NHL before he got sent down to the Texas Stars of the AHL a few weeks ago. However, he's worth a look for owners who need help between the pipes down the stretch. Bachman may be called upon to play more if Lehtonen's "mild" lower-body injury keeps him out of the lineup for an extended period of time.
Apr 12 - 11:02 PM

Richard Bachman will start and Cristopher Nilstorp will be the backup for the Dallas Stars on Friday.

Meanwhile, Kari Lehtonen remains day-to-day with his lower-body injury. At some point, the Stars would be wise to grow comfortable enough with one of Bachman/Nilstorp to play them more frequently, because it's plausible that Lehtonen's workload might explain some of his health problems.
Apr 12 - 1:32 PM

Richard Bachman was thrust into action Tuesday night, due to an injury to Kari Lehtonen, and he performed well in a 5-1 victory over Los Angeles.

He stopped all 22 shots he faced, including 17 in the second period, in the match to record his fourth win of the year. Bachman may be called upon to play more if Lehtonen's "mild" lower-body injury keeps him out of the lineup.
Apr 10 - 2:20 PM

Richard Bachman has been summoned by the Dallas Stars.

Bachman will serve as Dallas' backup goaltender on Saturday. He has a 4.27 GAA and .838 save percentage in seven NHL games this season.
Mar 23 - 2:57 PM

The Dallas Stars have sent goaltender Richard Bachman to the Texas Stars of the AHL.

Bachman certainly didn't set the world on fire in the NHL as he was 2-3-0 this season with a 4.27 GAA and a .838 save percentage. He will get some starts in the American Hockey League and hopefully can turn his game around.
Mar 19 - 11:39 AM

Richard Bachman didn't have a very good night in Tuesday's 5-4 win in overtime over Columbus.

He allowed four goals on just 20 shots, but got plenty of support offensively to get his second win of the 2013 campaign. Bachman played instead of Cristopher Nilstorp, but could be ticketed for the minors with Kari Lehtonen slated to be back soon.
