Niemi was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate Monday and should be in line to start the evening's contest against the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Niemi struggled to keep pucks out of the net Saturday despite facing just 15 shots, allowing three goals on limited opportunities to take his ninth loss of the season. Assuming he starts as expected, the veteran will look for a better outing against a Flames club that's been a bit hit-or-miss offensively as of late.
