Niemi stopped 22 of 24 shots in Sunday's loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't a bad outing for Niemi, but he was ultimately done in by a pair of shorthanded goals. The 32-year-old has allowed two or fewer goals in each of his last three starts, but he still figures to be behind Kari Lehtonen on the depth chart for the final two regular season tilts and in the postseason.
