Antti Niemi hopes to get the start on Friday as he will face his former Chicago teammates.
Niemi was the goalie for Chicago when they won the 2010 Stanley Cup, but the Blackhawks were forced to let him go when they couldn't afford to pay him what he was worth. "You have a lot of energy, for sure, when you play a former team," Niemi said. "You want to beat those guys. You try to draw on the emotion of playing against the top teams or the top goalie." Coach Todd McLellan only said 'we'll see' when asked if Niemi will start. Stay tuned.
