Antti Niemi couldn't right the ship for the Sharks as they lost 4-1 to the Blackhawks on Friday night. Niemi made 33 shots in San Jose's seventh straight loss. With a 1.74 goals-against average and .935 save percentage, the netminder generally has been performing very well -- he just can't get enough help from his teammates. He hasn't won in five starts.

Antti Niemi has gone winless in his past four outings after dropping a 1-0 decision to Nashville Tuesday night. He made 24 stops in the contest, but hasn't been able to buy a win of late despite his strong play. Niemi has gone 0-1-3 during his current winless skid, but since he's still been playing well we wouldn't worry about him.

Antti Niemi is the likely starter in goal Tuesday night against the Nashville Predators. Niemi has lost three straight, two of which were in shootout, after starting the season with six straight wins. However, he's only given up five goals in those three losses and four of them came in the lone regulation defeat. On the season, Niemi is 6-1-2 with a 1.82 GAA and a .933 save percentage.

Antti Niemi got his first shutout of the 2013 season in Saturday's shootout loss to Phoenix. He made 21 saves in regulation and overtime, but was beaten on both of the Coyotes' shootout attempts. Niemi has gone winless in his past three outings and currently owns a 6-1-2 record on the year.

Antii Niemi allowed four goals on 30 shots, as the Chicago Blackhawks defeated the San Jose Sharks 5-3 on Tuesday night. This was probably Niemi's weakest outing of the year. He allowed three goals in the first period, and then was left out to dry thanks to a giveaway on Patrick Kane's game winning goal in the second. Niemi now has dropped two straight, this being his first loss in regulation. Nevertheless, San Jose looks like they're a team to be reckoned with and fantasy owners should respond by inserting Niemi in their lineups as much as possible.

Despite a strong performance once again, Anti Niemi suffered his first loss of the season Saturday night, a 2-1 overtime thriller to Nashville. Niemi is still one of the goaltending surprises of 2013 with a 6-0-1 record, .936 save percentage and 1.80 goals against average.

Anti Niemi made 26 saves in the Sharks 3-2 shoot out win over the Edmenton Oilers to improve to an amazing 7-0. Niemi was hot once again and gave the Sharks the chance to win. Keep riding anyone in a Sharks sweater as they're all rewarding owners in spades.

Antti Niemi turned aside 28 of 30 shots in the San Jose Sharks' 3-2 shootout victory over Anaheim on Tuesday evening. Niemi's hot start continues, as he improves to 5-0-0 with the win. The 29-year-old netminder stopped all three shots he faced in the shootout and made a few key saves in overtime. Fantasy owners should be thrilled with Niemi's dominance so far, as his play this season has completely overshadowed any past consistency issues. He's proving to be great value, especially based on where he was drafted in most leagues.

Antti Niemi is expected to start again Tuesday night against the Anaheim Ducks. Niemi might just be the most underrated goalie in all of fantasy sports, especially with the Sharks off to such a fantastic start. Even in a shortened season, expect Niemi to net over 20 wins and a GAA of 2.40 or under. He should be started in all formats.

Anttii Niemi blocked 23 of 24 shots for San Jose en route to a 4-1 win over Vancouver Sunday night. Niemi flies under the radar during discussions about the top fantasy goaltending commodities, but with the Sharks playing as they have been, he has delivered excellent value for those willing to take the plunge on draft day.
