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.
