Niemi will be in the crease in Saturday's game against the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Niemi has earned wins in three consecutive games, but hasn't been particularly sharp of late, allowing three goals on 24 shots in each of his last two starts. The 32-year-old netminder will look to pick up his 21st win of the season Saturday in a tough matchup with a hot Chicago club that has won three of its last four games.
