Niemi will start Tuesday vs. the Devils.

Niemi allowed four goals on 20 shots in the Stars loss in Winnipeg last Tuesday. Kari Lehtonen started the last three games, but Niemi will go tonight vs. New Jersey. He’s had a rough go this season, but tonight’s matchup is great, especially since the Devils will be without Taylor Hall and Mike Cammalleri. You won’t have many good chances to start Niemi, use this one.

The Stars will not hold a morning skate on Friday because of their back-to-back.

Kari Lehtonen started Thursday in Calgary, so Antti Niemi could start tonight in Edmonton. Niemi has 12 wins in 16 career starts against the Oilers, but we will not know who their starting goalie is until they hit the ice for warmups at 8:30 p.m. ET.
