Niemi allowed five goals on 21 shots before being yanked from Thursday's 7-2 loss at the hands of the Blues. For what it's worth, Alex Stalock was arguably even worse in relief, giving up two goals on just seven shots. Niemi's drawn the Blues twice in his last three starts, and he's been pulled from both games, giving up a combined 11 goals. He'll surely be glad to check his schedule and see no more games against St. Louis for the rest of the regular season.
