Antti Niemi improved his record to 11-5-1 on the season after making 18 saves on 20 shots in the San Jose Sharks' 5-2 win on Thursday night against the Dallas Stars. With a 2.34 goals-against average and .920 save percentage, Niemi has had a a disappointing few games, only winning once in his last four outings before Thursday. The Sharks possess a very deep attack, so as long as the netminder remains steady in net, the wins will come with ease.
