Niemi was tagged for four goals on 36 shots in Thursday's loss to Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

Inconsistency's been the name of the game for the veteran netminder in his first four starts, as he's alternated good and bad outings. Indeed, Niemi was mostly sharp against these very same Jets just two days prior, holding them to just two goals in a winning effort. Look for Kari Lehtonen to draw back in between the pipes when the Stars continue their road swing in Minnesota on Saturday.
