As expected, Niemi is taking part in warmups Saturday afternoon in preperation for a home start against the Sharks, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Niemi had spent the past five seasons with Team Teal, and now he'll look to defeat them. Jamie Benn has added 17 points for Dallas this season and Tyler Seguin's compiled 14 more, providing plenty of offensive support for Niemi and fellow netminder Kari Lehtonen this season. A win from Niemi and company would improve the Stars' record to 9-2-0.
