Niemi will protect the net Tuesday night against the Predators, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Niemi has struggled as of late, as he has surrendered three or more goals in four straight starts. He stopped 30 of 33 shots in his last appearance against Detroit, although he still took the loss in overtime. He will look to get back on track Tuesday against a Predators team that he has faced twice already this season, earning the win each time. Nashville is currently in fourth place in the Central Division, and they are currently riding a four-game winning streak.

Niemi stopped 30 of 33 shots in Monday's overtime loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Niemi put forth a solid performance in this one, but it was a rare night without considerable offensive support. The 32-year-old labored through a difficult month, as he sported an unsightly .870 save percentage in February, making him difficult to trust most nights even with the elite offense in Dallas.

As expected, Niemi will protect the net at home Monday night against the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Niemi's been horrendous this month with a 3.84 GAA and .862 save percentage in seven games, but he's still managed to post a 4-2-0 record in that span -- that's what happens when you stop pucks for a team that ranks second in the league with 3.21 goals per game.

Niemi is likely to start Monday against Detroit, reports Mark Stepneski of the Stars official site.

EDGE Analysis

Niemi has struggled recently, including in his last start when he allowed three goals on eight shots before getting pulled. Niemi has had a save percentage north of .900 just once in his last seven games.

Niemi was benched after allowing three goals on eight shots in the first period of Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Niemi has now allowed three or more goals in six of his last seven games, giving the Stars -- and fantasy owners -- a headache in the process. The netminder has been benched twice in February, but still has four wins in the month, mostly due to the Dallas' elite offense. At this point, it's hard to trust Niemi, especially with a sad .904 save percentage.

Niemi will be in the crease in Thursday's home game against the Jets, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Niemi picked up his 22nd win of the season over the Jets on Tuesday, but wasn't great in that road contest, surrendering three goals on just 25 shots. He should be able to perform better in Thursday's home matchup with Winnipeg, as the Jets have been far more dangerous offensively at home (2.82 goals per game) than on the road (2.29 goals per game) this season.

Niemi stopped 22 of 25 shots en route to a 5-3 victory over the Jets on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Another shaky win puts Niemi at 6-3 in his last nine games, with a save percentage of just .884 in that span. In six of those nine games, he's allowed three or more goals, showing that he hasn't been playing his best hockey of late. The 32-year-old needs to buckle down quickly here down the stretch before he loses a grip on his starting position between the pipes.

Niemi will be between the pipes for Tuesday's game against the Jets, play-by-play announcer Dave Strader reports.

EDGE Analysis

Niemi gave up five goals his last time out, but he'll get another turn in net after Kari Lehtonen surrendered six the following game. The 32-year-old will draw a Jets squad that averages 2.53 goals per game, as he draws to tighten his grip on the number one job in net for Dallas.

Niemi allowed five goals on 41 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the loss, the 32-year-old netminder is still a respectable 5-3 in his last eight games. This game was also only the third time this season that Niemi has allowed more than four goals in a game. Still, this game certainly didn't do him any favors in trying to keep a tight hold on his number one position between the pipes in Dallas.

Niemi is the likely starter against Arizona on Thursday, reports Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News.

EDGE Analysis

Niemi grabbed a start Monday after he conceded the net to Kari Lehtonen for a couple games. He came back strong, stopping 24 of 26 shots and grabbing an overtime win. It could be a deceptive start with Arizona still playing above expectations, but Niemi saw for the first time in a while that he's not guaranteed to get the bulk of the starts and will have to continue to play well if he wants the net.
