EDGE Analysis

A very strong performance in regulation from Niemi, who was then beaten four times on nine shots in the shootout. The 32-year-old drops to 15-5-3 on the season with a .917 save percentage and 2.28 GAA. This was just his first loss in four starts and he was absolutely phenomenal in it, so keep playing him with confidence, as Niemi sits sixth in the NHL in wins this season.
