Niemi hasn't practiced yet either this year. He had surgery to remove a cyst from an "undisclosed location". They say he'll be alright for the season, but who knows.

Good thing it's the preseason, we've got seven keepers on the roster. :-)

I think Greiss will be in goal for a while. He was the backup for Nabokov two years ago.
