Niemi was yanked after allowing four goals on 27 shots in a 5-1 loss to the Penguins on Thursday. The loss snapped a six-game winning streak for the Finnish netminder. He should be back in goal tonight against the Wild. Minnesota is a great home team, but Niemi is no slouch on the road posting a 6-3-3 record with a 2.34 GAA and .916 SV%.
