Niemi wasn't too busy in his last start stopping 25 of 27 in a shootout win over the Avalanche. Tonight the Sharks take on the Red Wings coming off of a crushing late loss to the Kings last night. This will mark Niemi's seventh straight start tonight however he's only won two of his last six. His 1.95 GAA and .930 SV% are great he just needs some help from the offense.

Niemi has lost seven of his last eight starts but has only allowed 16 goals combined in those games (2.00 GAA). It isn't a matter of Niemi playing bad it is the offense that isn't getting the job done in front of him. However Niemi does have a good matchup tonight vs. the Avalanche.

Niemi started last night and allowed only two goals on 36 shots. He will be back between the pipes tonight for the tail-end of a back-to-back when the Sharks take on the Stars. Pretty good matchup for Niemi as the Stars have struggled with Kari Lehtonen out of the lineup.

Niemi only allowed one goal on 26 shots in his last outing vs. a tough Blues team. It doesn't get any easier for him tonight when he will face the NHL's best team, the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Sharks have not been playing well lately and it is hurting Niemi's fantasy owners. Niemi is still posting good numbers (1.94 GAA, .930 SV%) but he isn't getting the wins. The Sharks looked so good at the start of the season but have since fallen off. If they find their game again soon Niemi will start to get the W's and help his fantasy owners again.

After starting the season 6-0-0, Niemi has lost his last 4 starts. However it was not Niemi's fault that the Sharks lost those games. In 2 of the games he only allowed 1 goal and in another he posted a shutout and lost in a shootout. Niemi still has a 1.74 GAA and .935 SV% and is a good #1 fantasy option. Tough match-up tonight against Chicago.
