Antti Niemi kicked away 26 shots in the San Jose Sharks' victory versus the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night. The netminder allowed one goal in the first period on just three shots, so it looked like he could be in for a long night, and then faced eight more in the second. He withstood a shot barrage (16) in the third from a desperate Ducks team to preserve the win. Niemi now is 6-1-1 over his past eight games. With the win, Niemi pushed his record to 17-7-4, and he now has a 2.29 goals-against average and .918 save percentage -- numbers that make him a very solid No. 1 in fantasy leagues.
