Thomas Greiss to man the crease for the Islanders on Friday

New York Islanders netminder Thomas Greiss will start in goal on Friday as the Islanders take on the Detroit Red Wings.

What It Means:

Greiss has had a strong season, and owns a 15-7-3 record through 25 starts. His .928 save percentage and 2.24 goals-against average are both the best marks of his eight-year career.

Our models project Greiss for 26.6 saves, 2.2 goals against and a 63.0 percent chance of scoring a win tonight. He is our top-ranked fantasy goalie on Friday's five-game slate.
