The Dallas Stars are going back to Anton Khudobin as they once again seek to eliminate the Colorado Avalanche.

The Stars' backup goaltender is starting Game 6, the club confirmed before puck drop. Ben Bishop is unfit to play, the team announced, according to Stars senior staff writer Mike Heika.

Bishop, who was Dallas' No. 1 netminder during the regular season, has been out for most of the playoffs. He returned from injury for Game 5 on Monday, but the veteran allowed four goals on 19 shots before Khudobin replaced him in Colorado's 6-3 win.

It was Bishop's first start since Game 2 of the Stars' first-round series against the Calgary Flames, when he gave up four goals on 26 shots in a 5-4 victory.
