Niemi is the likely starter vs. the Blackhawks.

Niemi has 5-2-1 record with a 2.64 GAA and .920 SV% against his former team the Blackhawks. He comes into tonight's game having lost his first game of the season in his last outing. He is still 6-0-1 with a 1.80 GAA and .936 SV%, so it would be tough not to play him at this point.

Niemi will start tonight for the Sharks.

Niemi and the Sharks will put their undefeated record on the line tonight against the Predators. Niemi has been a fantasy stud so far this season. He is 6-0-0 with a 1.95 GAA and .933 SV%. With as hot as the Sharks have been this season Niemi is a must start in all fantasy formats.

Niemi to start tonight against the Ducks.

Niemi has been a great fantasy option so far this season as his team has been playing great in front of him. He is 4-0-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .933 SV%, as long as the Sharks are playing as they are now, Niemi will be a top fantasy option.

Goaltender Thomas Greiss will likely make an appearance in one of the two games this weekend, and it looks like it might be on Saturday, as he was the first goalie off of the ice on Friday while Niemi stayed on for some extra work.

Niemi takes on a tough challenge vs. the Canucks on Sunday.

Antti Niemi will get the start for the Sharks after his impressive 31-save performance on Sunday.

Niemi is securely in the #1 goalie position in San Jose and should see a lot of games this season. The Sharks should be a good team as long as Niemi plays well. He could be one of fantasy's best goalies this year if he can find more consistency than last season.
