Niemi was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate and will likely start Saturday against the Ducks, David Pollak of the San Jose Mercury News reports. The Finnish goaltender will look to break a four game losing streak on Saturday against Anaheim. The Sharks activated backup netminder Alex Stalock on Saturday who, unless Niemi can begin to play at a higher level, will likely begin to steal some starts in net going forward.
