Antti Niemi kicked aside 31 of 32 shots in the San Jose Sharks' victory against the Dallas Stars on Saturday night. Really just another ho-hum performance for the netminder who's really hitting his stride right now. He's now won four straight games and has let in six goals during that span. Niemi is 8-2-1 on the year.

Antti Niemi was superb between the pipes Thursday night in the San Jose Sharks' 5-2 win, permitting just two goals on 42 shots against the Detroit Red Wings. Niemi allowed the first goal of the game in a 17-shot first period, but gave Detroit fits all night. The keeper has given up five goals over his last three games and improved his record to 7-2-1 on the year. He's really starting to steady his play after an inconsistent start to the year.

Antti Niemi cruised to a 3-1 victory over the Wild on Thursday, making 21 saves in the process. San Jose bottled up Minnesota's attack for most of the night and Niemi was just over six minutes away from posting a shutout, but fantasy owners will just have to do with the one goal allowed and .955 save percentage. The netminder hasn't been at his best enough this season, but after allowing three goals in his last two games, maybe this is a start. Niemi improved to 6-2-1 on the year.

Goaltender Antti Niemi, 4-2-1 on the season, drew praise from his coach after the San Jose Sharks defeated the Los Angeles Kings 4-2 on Monday night. "Nemo's looking shaper every night, isn't he?" Todd McLellan. "He's starting to get comfortable in there, he's starting to feel good and his timing and reads of rushes and plays are getting better all the time. I think we're getting there."

Antti Niemi was beaten twice on 31 shots in Monday night's 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings. Niemi has played well to start the season after starting the year plagued by injuries. With Antero Nittymaki on the injured reserve you can expect Niemi to shoulder the load in the meantime. Niemi's goals against average and save percentage are in need of a boost, yet Antti posts an impressive record of 4-2-1 on the season.

Although Antti Niemi has a subpar 3.09 GAA and .892 save percentage in eight starts since returning from a cyst, the Sharks plan to keep putting him in between the pipes. "He plays his best when he's a workhorse, when he's ridden all the time and he's just getting to that now," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "His injury, his lack of a work-full training camp, his lack of an exhibition season hasn't been helpful for him, but that doesn't mean we don't believe in what he can and will do. I think when you even look at his year last year, we started by rotating some goaltenders back and forth, him and (Antero Niittymaki). And until Nemo really played and played and played, that's when he started to get in his groove." With that in mind, Niemi should be regarded as a the probable goaltender for Monday's contest.

Antti Niemi made 31 saves in the 4-3 OT loss to the Nashville Predators. Niemi has had another shaky start like he did last season, though this start isn't nearly as bad. He is a solid netminder, as his Stanley Cup ring indicates, just give him some time. It took until the new year for the Finnish netminder to hit his stride, but Sharks fans are hoping for results a lot sooner than that from their starter.

Antti Niemi will draw in goal for the Sharks on Saturday. Niemi is struggling this season despite his 4-2-0 record. He will need to play well in order for the Sharks to have a chance against the Predators.

Antti Niemi was saddled with a 5-2 loss at the hands of the New York Rangers Monday night at Madison Square Garden. The Finnish netminder turned aside 26 shots in the loss. Niemi has been extremely solid in the early going and this is just a bump in the road in what will surely be a productive season in San Jose. Niemi is impressive when he's on, and terrible when he's off, more so than most other goalies. His season record now stands at 4-2-0.

Antti Niemi was sensational as San Jose picked up a big win over Detroit. Niemi was great on this night as he turned aside 30 of 32 shots. In the end the Sharks beat the Red Wings 4-2. Niemi has been extremely solid in the early going, a great sign for fantasy owners. His season record improved to 4-1-0.
