Niemi stopped 35 of 36 shots in a shootout win over the Capitals on Tuesday. He was given Thursday night off so there is no surprise that he is back in the crease this afternoon against the Lightning. He stopped 36 of 37 shots in a 5-1 win the first time he started vs. Tampa Bay. He has been relatively inconsistent this season, but overall he has been very good - Niemi is currently second in the NHL in wins with 24.
