What It Means:

Niemi has split his last two starts, going 1-1-0 with a .944 save percentage and a 2.03 goals-against average. In his only start versus the Rangers this season, the veteran netminder was dealt a tough-luck loss as he allowed only one goal on 29 shots faced. He will have a tough time on Tuesday against a Rangers team that comes into Tuesday with the second-best offense in the NHL at 3.41 goals per game.

Our models don't like Niemi's chances much as we project him for the lowest fantasy points of any goalie (11.0) with 3.5 goals allowed, 26.2 saves and only a 31.0 percent chance of winning.
