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.
