Antti Niemi is hoping that he'll be more consistent in 2013. "I have to get better at staying at my better level," Niemi said. "A season like this, there shouldn't be any stretch where I'm not playing well. I think last year on that long road trip, I had some troubles in February. I especially remember that Tampa game (a 6-5 shootout loss in which he made just 19 saves on 24 shots)." Avoiding cold streaks is a big task and we don't expect Niemi to fully succeed in that regard. At the same time, we do think he'll post strong numbers after recordina 2.42 GAA and .915 save percentage last season.
