Antti Niemi turned away 26 of 29 shots in the San Jose Sharks' 6-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. Niemi didn't face much pressure in the game, as San Jose led 6-1 after the first period. His position as starting goaltender is secure, so he's a candidate for a breakout season if the talented Sharks continue to play up to their potential. Consistency has been an issue in the past, so hopefully he can sustain his quick start.
