EDGE Analysis

If you're chasing wins in your fantasy league, Niemi would seem to be a fine selection since he stops pucks for the league's top-ranked offense. However, it's been tough to recommend the seventh-year backstop of late since he's posted a 3.79 GAA in four March appearances. There will be plenty of alternatives on a 10-game slate Thursday.
