Jere Lehtinen was selected 88th overall in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft by the Minnesota North Stars and spent his entire NHL career with the North Stars/Dallas Stars organization.
During his 15 NHL seasons, Lehtinen was voted to two All-Star Games, he won the Frank J. Selke Trophy three times, and won one Stanley Cup before calling it quits following the 2009-10 season.
This Friday, Jere Lehtinen will be honoured by the Dallas Stars ahead of their tilt with the Calgary Flames.
Although the game is still a few days away, Stars captain Jamie Benn surprised Lehtinen with a special trip to Italy on behalf of the Stars organization.
The Stars will raise Lehtinen’s No. 26 to the rafters ahead of Friday night’s game, where he will join Neal Broten (7), Bill Goldsworthy (8), Mike Modano (9), and Bill Masterton (19).
