Niemi looks to rebound from loss vs. Blues

Antti Niemi has lost two of his last three starts - both coming against the St. Louis Blues. He has allowed 11 goals on 48 shots as the Sharks were out-scored 14-4 against St. Louis. Niemi was pulled after 33 minutes Thursday’s 7-2 loss to the Blues. Alex Stalock started the Sharks’ only other game against New York this season - a 4-0 loss on Oct. 19. Niemi is 16-10-4 this season with a 2.63 G.A.A. and a .910 save percentage.

Henrik Lundqvist gets the start for the Rangers, who will look to extend their win streak to five games.
