Niemi will be in the net Saturday against the Islanders, Kevin Kurz of CSNBayArea.com reports. It will mark the fourth start in a row for Niemi, who has been stellar for the Sharks with save percentages above .930 in each of his last three turns. With every successive impressive outing, Niemi is only creating further distance between himself and Alex Stalock in their competition for the No. 1 goalie gig.
