Niemi will tend the twine for Wednesday's Game 4 matchup with Minnesota, Josh Cooper of Yahoo.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Niemi's confirmation in goal continues the season long trend in Dallas of rotating their netminders. It was a short leash for Kari Lehtonen who gets the hook despite allowing one lone score in the first two games of the series. While sharing time has been the norm, the 32-year-old Niemi will face the unenviable task of coming into the postseason having not played since the final regular season outing, which should give fantasy owners pause.
