EDGE Analysis

While he's won more than half of the games he's started, Niemi's numbers are subpar. In the last five contests, he owns an .865 save percentage and a 4.77 GAA. His overall numbers aren't much better -- .877 save percentage and 4.01 GAA. Even with a 5-3-1 record, owners can't take on those horrific numbers in the other categories. He's only posted a save percentage above .900 twice in nine games.
