Niemi will be between the pipes Tuesday against the Flyers, CSN Bay Area's Kevin Kurz reports. Though Alex Stalock (knee) has been activated from IR, coach Todd McLellan still wants to give him a little more practice time before having him ready to go by the weekend. Niemi still looks to have a hold on the starting job once Stalock is completely healthy, but his overall body of work this season (8-7-3, 2.57 GAA, .914 save percentage) isn't exactly world-beating.
