Saw on Reddit that this was the first game since March 23rd, 2018 that Niemi let in fewer than 3 goals.

 

He only played two more games after that at the end of the last season. And then the struggles this season, which are all too familiar.

ya, 13 games. Still a concerning trend.

It's really this year that things fell apart. And he was even OK (though not great) at the beginning of the season: after five games he was still at a 3.3 GAA and a 4-1 record. But in the next five games he allowed over 25 goals (GAA over 5) and looked very shaky.

 

Why? I suspect it's (almost) all mental. But what got him into that state, and is he out of it now, or was the Dallas game just a one-off fluke, I really have no idea.

A small note from this one - this was game #40 for Kotkaniemi which means he has now officially accrued a season towards UFA eligibility.

 

Maybe if we sign him after next offseason we can get him on a deal that becomes a bargain down the road!
