Niemi!!

Blackhawks backup goalie Antti Niemi has just registered his third shutout in his last five starts, and his fourth shutout in ten starts overall. He's 8-1-1, and although he hasn't started enough games to officially lead the league, he has the lowest GAA of any NHL goalie.

Blackhawks 3, Red Wings 0. We enter the Christmas break with the best record in the Western Conference.
