Dallas Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen has a concussion after a collision in the crease but isn't expected to miss much time.

He was knocked over in the third period on Monday by Florida Panthers forward Nick Bjugstad, who was checked by Dallas' Jamie Oleksiak. The Stars defenseman received a two-minute penalty for interference.

Stars coach Lindy Ruff told reporters after the game that Lehtonen had "very mild symptoms" and might miss a couple days.

Offseason acquisition Anders Lindback gave up a goal on the first shot he faced but nothing more as Tyler Seguin scored twice to cap off a hat trick and a 5-4 victory.
