Niemi is the likely starter Sunday against Anaheim, reports Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News.

EDGE Analysis

Despite Niemi's struggles, this was expected after Kari Lehtonen started Saturday's game against the Kings. Through 46 games this season, Niemi has a career-worst .904 save percentage. Neither goaltender has been great, but Niemi isn't likely to be the guy they turn to when the playoffs come around.
