EDGE Analysis
He would have had an even sharper line if not for Mark Scheifele scoring a power-play goal on him with 10 seconds left in the game. In fact, both of Winnipeg's goals were of the late-period variety, as Joel Armia scored on Niemi with five seconds remaining in the second frame after the veteran netminder misplayed the puck behind his net. It may be fair to say that at least that one goal came due to a lapse in concentration with time expiring; either way, it has to sting his fantasy owners a bit that only a few ticks of the clock separated this solid two-goal effort from a shutout.
