Antti Niemi was huge in net, as his San Jose Sharks defeated the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 in a shootout on Tuesday. Niemi turned aside 36 of 38 shots and stopped 3 of the 4 shootout attempts he faced. He also made a few key saves in overtime to keep the Sharks alive. The 29-year-old improves to 10-4-4 on the season with a GAA under 1.90 and a SV% above .930. Despite a rough February, Niemi has put together two solid performances to open March. Hopefully he can continue producing at a high level.

Antti Niemi looks like the starter in goal Tuesday night against the Vancouver Canucks. Niemi has been absolutely ridiculous this season despite the inconsistent play in front of him. For the season, Niemi is 9-4-4 with a 1.83 GAA and .934 save percentage and should be started on a nightly basis in every format.

Antti Niemi made 33 saves in San Jose's 2-1 loss in the shootout to the Red Wings on Thursday night. The Sharks finished the month with just a 2-6-4 record, so while they cooled, Niemi certainly hasn't. The netminder has been brilliant this season with a 1.88 goals-against average and .933 save percentage, marks that are easily within the top 10 in the NHL. Now, if only he could get more support from his friends.

Antii Niemi played well in net on Tuesday, as he stopped 25 of the 27 shots he faced in San Jose's 3-2 shootout victory over Colorado. Niemi allowed a goal with under five minutes remaining in the third, which eventually sent the game into overtime. However, he bounced back in overtime and in the shootout to secure the win for the Sharks. It's been a rollercoaster year for Niemi. He's been fairly consistent in net, but not in the wins column. He started the year with six straight wins in January, and then dropped seven of his next eight contests in February. Hopefully he can turn his strong efforts into wins once again.

Antti Niemi gave up two goals on 34 shots Friday night as the Sharks lost 2-1 to Chicago on Friday night. Remember when the Sharks started the year with seven straight wins? Well, since they've gone just 1-5-3 and nothing is going right, that is except for the play of their netminder. Their bright spot is 7-3-3 with a 1.86 goals-against average and .933 save percentage on the season.

Antti Niemi has excelled even during the San Jose Sharks struggles. San Jose has won just one game this month, but Niemi still has a 1.78 GAA and .933 save percentage in six starts over that span. Sharks coach Todd McLellan thinks that Niemi is stronger than he was last year. "I do, and I think his numbers speak to that," McLellan said. "He's got a little more stamina, his legs look stronger, and he just looks more confident in net and more calm in the net."

It looks like Antti Niemi will get the start in goal Tuesday night. Niemi haan't won in the month of February and allowed four goals in his last start, a 4-1 loss to the Blackhawks on Friday. Still, with a 1.74 GAA and .935 save percentage to his name, Niemi remains one of the top fantasy goalies in hockey. All owners can hope is he gets some support from his teammates sooner rather than later.
