Niemi is on tap to make his fourth consecutive start tonight as the Stars kick off a Western Canada swing at the Saddledome.
As always when the Dallas Stars travel to Canada, at least so far this season, it feels like it's time to break out the Admiral Ackbar meme again. You know the one I mean.
This time, it's the struggling Calgary Flames on the docket. The Flames have actually played alright at the Saddledome so far this season, but their underlying numbers and overall record are pretty brutal. Given the losses the Stars have had this season, that means they should be paying close attention to tonight's game and not looking ahead to Thursday in Vancouver.
