The Sharks had to have this game, to avoid dropping into a 3-0 hole; and Niemi had to come up big, as Quick put on another dazzling performance. Game 4 is Tuesday, and Niemi will assuredly be in the crease for that contest.","date":"Sun May 19"},"fullName":"Antti Niemi","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Though his overall numbers have been good in two seasons in San Jose -- 35 wins, a 2.38 GAA and .920 SV% in 2010-11; 34 wins, a 2.42 GAA and .915 SV% in 2011-12 -- Antti Niemi's had more streaks than an improperly cleaned window. For those who play in a head-to-head format, this can be exceptionally frustrating, as he'll fall off a cliff with no prior warning -- meaning he's on the active roster for a bad game or two before he can be benched -- and manage to climb back up fairly quickly as well -- meaning he's still sitting on the bench when he posts that 32-save shutout. In roto format, this is less of an issue. With a similar team hitting the ice for the Sharks in 2012-13, Niemi's fantasy value is influenced by which style of scoring your league uses -- a potential low-end No. 1 in roto; he's more in the 15-20 range for H2H.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Tue Sep 11"},"playerRater30DAY":7.9,"playerRater15DAY":11.2,"positionRank":5}
