EDGE Analysis

Niemi gets his first start since Feb. 6, which was the last of three rough starts, all at an .875 save percentage or worse. But it's a good opportunity for Niemi to take the reins again. He's historically played well against Nashville with a career record of 9-6-3, 1.94 goals against average and .928 save percentage against the Preds.
