Niemi cruises to another victory on Tuesday
Antti Niemi - G - San Jose Sharks
Jan. 23, 2013 - 1:05 AM ET
Antti Niemi turned away 26 of 29 shots in the San Jose Sharks' 6-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.
Niemi didn't face much pressure in the game, as San Jose led 6-1 after the first period. His position as starting goaltender is secure, so he's a candidate for a breakout season if the talented Sharks continue to play up to their potential. Consistency has been an issue in the past, so hopefully he can sustain his quick start.
