Niemi stopped 32 of 33 to outduel Ben Bishop in a 2-1 victory over the Lightning on Thursday. He was well on his way to a shutout before Steven Stamkos tagged him for a mid-third-period goal, but if you're gonna give up a goal to any Bolt, it may as well be Stamkos. The victory ends a three-game losing skid for Niemi in which he'd allowed 11 goals.
