Niemi starts Thursday in Pittsburgh.

Niemi stopped 34 of 35 shots in the Stars 2-1 win in Philadelphia on Tuesday. It was a great performance from Niemi, who sat for three games after allowing six goals in his previous outing. The Stars will likely roll with the hot hand all season and for now that is Niemi. He’ll face a Penguins team who are on a three-game winning streak, but have only averaged 1.67 goals per game so far

Niemi will get the call on Tuesday vs. the Flyers.

Niemi surrendered six goals on 28 shots in the Stars loss in Colorado on October 10th. Kari Lehtonen started the last three games, but Niemi will get back in goal tonight in Philadelphia. His first two starts with Dallas could not have been more opposite. Tonight gives him a nice chance to right the ship—he has a 1.83 GAA and .936 SV% in his career vs. Philly.

Niemi gets the nod vs. the Ducks.

Niemi was spectacular in his first start with the Stars. He stopped all 37 shots that he faced while recording two assists in the Stars’ 3-0 win over the Penguins. It was a dream start for Niemi, who is in line to start his second straight game tonight in Colorado. Niemi was 17-10-2 on the road with San Jose last season.

Niemi will start the Stars' season opener on Thursday.

Niemi spent the last five years in San Jose but will start a new chapter tonight as he makes his Dallas Stars’ debut at home vs. the Penguins. He had a 2.59 GAA and .914 SV% in 61 starts last season, but the Stars weren’t very good defensively last season and if that is the case again in 2015-16, those numbers could rise a little bit. Either way, it looks like he has the upper hand as the team’s No. 1…for now.
