San Jose Sharks

Niemi made 24 saves as the Sharks fell 3-2 to the Kings on Saturday night.

Niemi and the Sharks take on San Jose in the postseason.

Niemi made 27 saves in Thursday's 6-1 win over Minnesota.

Niemi improved to 11-2-1 with a 1.77 GAA over his last 14 games.

Niemi made 41 saves in Tuesday's 3-2 SO win over LA.

Niemi helped force the shootout when he stopped Jeff Carter with his pad on a 2-on-1 in overtime and then was perfect in the shootout as he looked quite fresh in his 21st consecutive start.

Niemi finished with 35 saves to blank the Coyotes in a 4-0 win on Monday.

It was Niemi's fourth shutout of the season. He's 9-2-1 with three shutouts and a 1.83 goals-against average over his last 12 starts.

Niemi made 30 saves in Sunday's 5-4 SO loss to Dallas.

Niemi had won his previous seven starts.

Niemi made 22 saves and earned his second shutout of the season as the Sharks swept a home-and-home against first-place Anaheim with Wednesday's 4-0 victory.

Niemi has allowed three or more goals in eight of his previous nine starts.

Niemi made 25 saves, but was pulled with 14:22 left in third after allowing Vladimir Sobotka's second goal in an 80-second span in Saturday's 4-3 OT loss to St. Louis.

Niemi still owns a sparkling 1.92 GAA so fantasy owners should keep the faith.

Niemi had another strong performance on Tuesday, stopping 36 of 38 shots in San Jose's 3-2 shootout win over Vancouver.

Niemi has stopped 91.4 percent or better of the shots he's faced in 14 of his 18 starts and his .935 save percentage is a career best.

Niemi turned away 32 of 34 shots Friday in a 2-1 loss at Chicago.

Niemi has gone just 1-3-3 this month despite a superb 1.81 GAA. The wins should eventually start piling up for Niemi if he can continue he excellent play.

Niemi made 25 saves to help the Sharks end a seven-game winless streak with a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday.

He is 7-2-3 with a 1.86 GAA this season.
