What It Means:

Greiss has been stupendous this month, and the Islanders took note by giving him a three-year, $10 million contract extension. The 31-year-old netminder has gone 6-2-3 with a .936 save percentage and just 22 goals against while posting two shutouts since he took over for Jaroslav Halak on New Year's Eve. Tuesday will present a tough test versus the first-place Capitals.

Greiss is numberFire's third-ranked fantasy option on Tuesday's crowded 14-game slate. Our models project him for 28.7 saves, 2.3 goals against and a 52.0 percent chance of scoring a win.
