The 30-year-old goalie is 18-6-6 with a .915 save percentage and 2.55 GAA this season. He's had an up-and-down December but remains a borderline elite fantasy goalie.

Antti Niemi struggled Saturday night in the Sharks' 3-2 loss to the Predators. The netminder gave up three goals on 23 shots, giving up a goal in each period. San Jose now has a 2-4-1 record in December. Niemi sports a 2.26 goals-against average and .915 save percentage this year.

Antti Niemi stopped 29 of 30 shots in San Jose's 4-2 win over Minnesota Thursday night. Niemi played an excellent game and almost got a shutout, but Jonas Brodin scored in the last period.

Antti Niemi helped the San Jose Sharks beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 on Tuesday. Niemi has now won six games in a row, giving him a 16-3-5 record on the season. He doesn't get credit as an elite goalie, but it's tough to deny that notion, at least in fantasy.
