Niemi gave up five goals on 24 shots in Friday's Game 5 overtime loss to the Wild.

It was a rough night for Niemi, who was outplayed by opposing netminder Devan Dubnyk. Niemi looked solid in his 2016 postseason debut in Game 4, but he came unraveled against the Wild in Game 5. The Stars have tons of firepower up front, but face some uncertainty in the crease moving forward, as it's possible they could turn back to Kari Lehtonen for Game 6.
