VIDEO: Sharks' Antti Niemi robs Senators' Alex Chiasson with pad save
Kirby Lee / USA TODAY Sports
The San Jose Sharks are trying to stay afloat in the Western Conference playoff race and Antti Niemi is doing everything he can to help.
Down a goal to the equally playoff-hungry Ottawa Senators, Niemi robbed forward Alex Chiasson in the second period to keep his team in the game.
Kyle Turris fed Chiasson with a pass down low that looked like a tap-in, but Niemi stuck out his right pad to take away what looked like a sure goal.
Niemi was also fortunate enough to have Tommy Wingels clear the rebound off the goal line.
