The 27-year-old Niemi, who manned the net for the 2009-2010 Stanley Cup champions, will reportedly be wearing teal this season as, according to a league source, he's agreed to a one-year, $2 million deal with the Sharks. (Source.) The Blackhawks will visit San Jose to face the Sharks for the first time on Wednesday, Nov. 24.
