Tim Chiasson: Sharks vs Wild: Has Niemi Won Starting Job? The Sharks head to Minnesota looking for another win against a stingy Wild defence/goaltending combination that has a sparkling 1.75 GAA.

Stalock's numbers have been pretty good... but McLellan loves him some Niemi

The Sharks are catching the Wild at a good time. We're pretty banged up after the east coast swing, so I suspect the Wild is going to have a tougher time defensively tonight against a sharks team that has so many potent weapons. But it should be a good game either way. And Im picking tonight as the night the Wild bust the PP slump!!

Jumbo ain't gonna waive...

Would love to have Gardiner & Kadri, however...

Niemi is better than Stalock but the Sharks need to tighten up no matter who is in goal. Niemi kept them in the game for two periods tonight.

Niemi plays every game.. More "change" for the Sharks

"Has Niemi Won Starting Job?"

I hadn't realized that he ever really lost it.

Considering his play has been the primary downfall of the Sharks in the playoffs that past few years. PLayoffs last year sv% .884 gaa 3.74 and he won 3 games with those stats!
