EDGE Analysis

It's been a true split in Dallas, with Niemi grabbing three of the team's six games so far. It's not clear if the Stars will keep the split going if one of the two netminders starts to stand out. Until then, Niemi is playing well, but there aren't consistent starts to be had from him.
