It looks like Niemi is likely to get the start on Tuesday against Winnipeg, reports Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News.
EDGE Analysis
Niemi continues to get a little over half the starts in Dallas, despite putting on something of a Jeckyll and Hyde routine of late. He managed to grab a loss against Colorado before the break, allowing three goals on just 15 shots. He bounced back in his next game and stopped 23 of 24. It's tough to tell which Niemi will show up on any given night.

Niemi turned aside 23 of 24 shots in Monday's win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Niemi wasn't tested early, as he faced just three shots in the first period, and though the pressure eventually picked up, he was sharp in preserving the 2-1 win. The 32-year-old dropped his first four starts of 2016, but he appears to have righted the ship with just six combined goals allowed in his last three, going 2-1-0 in that span.

Niemi has led the Stars onto the ice for warmups and will get the start Monday against Calgary, NHL.com's Mark Stepneski reports.
EDGE Analysis
Niemi's season has hit a rough patch, as he has surrendered 20 total goals and earned just one win in his last six starts. The 32-year-old Finnish netminder has compiled a 17-9-5 record this season with a .911 save percentage and 2.47 GAA. Niemi draws a Flames team Monday that has also struggled lately, dropping five of the past seven contests. Niemi faced Calgary once this season, surrendering three goals on 32 shots in a Dec. 1 overtime loss.

Niemi was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate Monday and should be in line to start the evening's contest against the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Niemi struggled to keep pucks out of the net Saturday despite facing just 15 shots, allowing three goals on limited opportunities to take his ninth loss of the season. Assuming he starts as expected, the veteran will look for a better outing against a Flames club that's been a bit hit-or-miss offensively as of late.

Niemi made 12 saves in a 3-1 loss to the Avalanche on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
It was hard for Niemi to stay warm and focused -- he faced a third of the shots that his opponent did. Two of the three goals came shorthanded.

Niemi will start on Saturday against the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
This will be Niemi's second straight start. While he's carried the majority of the load, the Dallas net really has been a two-headed monster. He will get a shot to repeat the success of Thursday's start, when he helped the Stars grab their first win in five games by stopping 23 of 25 against Edmonton.

Niemi stopped 23 of 25 shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
After a four-game losing skid to start off the new year, Niemi turned things around against Edmonton. The Finnish goaltender hasn't been so great of late, surrounding at least three goals in three of his last five starts. After a strong outing Tuesday, expect Niemi to continue to get the nod over a struggling Kari Lehtonen.

Niemi will be in the crease as Thursday's home starter against the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Niemi has sputtered in a major way, yielding 15 goals over the last four starts with two regulation losses and another pair of overtime defeats. However, his recent skid was caused by teams that have winning records, so perhaps a date with the 19-24-5 Oilers will be enough to get him back on track. One note of caution is that Oilers bench boss Todd McLellan is quite familiar with Niemi's tendencies having coached him for five seasons between 2010-15, when they were both in San Jose.

Niemi made 35 saves on 39 shots in Saturday's overtime loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Niemi was beaten in overtime by Thomas Hertl, as the Sharks picked up their fifth straight win. Niemi has now lost four straight games, dropping his record 16-8-5 on the season with a .913 save percentage. He hasn't been as bad as the losing skid would suggest and remains a very good fantasy option on any night you're looking to get a goalie win.

Niemi will get the net against the Sharks on Saturday, reports Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News.
EDGE Analysis
Niemi and his .914 save percentage get the net in the back-end of the team's back-to-back. He's playing behind a potentially tired team, but the start comes against a team that has been inconsistent.
