Kris Russell may be able to play after a brief illness, but the bigger news is in net where Antti Niemi will make his first start of the playoffs.
The Dallas Stars were not shy about using both halves of their two-headed starting goalie monster throughout the regular season, and it appears things will be no different in the playoffs.
While Kari Lehtonen was far from the problem in the Stars 5-3 loss in Game 3 to the Minnesota Wild, it appears coach Lindy Ruff has decided to put Antti Niemi in net tonight for Game 4.
