Niemi surrendered three goals on 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Two empty-netters made the scoreline look worse than it was, but Niemi's .864 save percentage indicates that this was a forgettable performance nonetheless. The struggling veteran has won just two of his past eight starts while allowing 24 goals in those games. Unfortunately for the Stars, Kari Lehtonen hasn't been any better with only two victories in his past 11 starts.
