Niemi has been named the starting netminder for Tuesday's matchup with Arizona, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite Niemi's horrendous full-season marks of a 11-12-4 record, 3.31 GAA, and .892 save percentage, he's actually been fairly good at home in 2016-17. In 20 outings at the American Airlines Center, Niemi is 9-4-2 with a 2.62 GAA and .912 save percentage. That said, the 2010 Stanley Cup champion will face a tough test Tuesday as he'll be running into a scorching Jets team that's won seven of their last nine games.
