Thomas Greiss manning Islanders' post on Friday

New York Islanders goalie Thomas Greiss has been named the starter for Friday's contest against the Florida Panthers.

What It Means:

Greiss has dropped his last three starts, bringing his record to 9-6-2 on the season while posting a .927 save percentage and 2.29 goals-against average. The Panthers are just 27th in the NHL with 2.26 goals for per game, so perhaps Greiss will be able to halt the skid.

Our models give Greiss a 43.0 percent chance of ending his losing streak on Friday night while projecting him to make 27.7 saves and allow 2.5 goals. He is our fifth-ranked fantasy goalie among the 14 starters to choose from.
