Antti Niemi

Stars expected to put Antti Niemi in goals Tuesday versus the Oilers

The Dallas Stars are planning to start Antti Niemi in goal Tuesday as they visit the Edmonton Oilers.

What It Means:

Niemi has made only one start this month, allowing five goals on 33 shots in a loss to the New York Islanders. The veteran has struggled overall in 2017 posting a 4-5-0 record with a .867 save percentage and a 3.65 goals against average in 13 games played.

Our models project Niemi as the worst goalie option of the night with 3.2 goals allowed, 25.0 saves, and only a 27.0% chance of winning.
