Thomas Greiss

Islanders green-light Thomas Greiss on Thursday

New York Islanders goalie Thomas Greiss will draw the start for Thursday's road clash with the Montreal Canadiens.

What It Means:

Greiss has lost three of his last five, but he is still a solid 19-11-3 with a 2.50 goals-against average through 33 starts this season. His .918 save percentage is a step back from the .925 percentage he posted last season, but it is right in line with his career-average.

Our models project Greiss for 27.5 saves, 2.5 goals against and a 48.0 percent chance of scoring a win, making him numberFire's fourth-ranked fantasy goalie on Thursday's six-game slate.
