Niemi was pulled Saturday against the Blues after giving up six goals on 27 shots. Now that's an odd way to build off a 28-save shutout. Just a few days after blanking the Ducks, Nemi got absolutely torched by the Blues Saturday, giving up five-even strength goals for the first time since Nov.17, 2013. The 31-year-old now owns a 15-9-4 record on the season, to go with a .914 save percentage and 2.53 GAA. While Niemi has lost three of his past four games, he still has only two regulation losses in his past 11 starts. Chalk this one up as a bad outing and move on.
