Thomas Greiss

Thomas Greiss will don the pads Friday for the Islanders

The New York Islanders are starting Thomas Greiss in goal Friday as they visit the Chicago Blackhawks.

What It Means:

Despite being 1-1-0 in his last two starts, Greiss wasn't at the top of his game. He allowed seven goals on only 42 shots for a .833 save percentage. He will have a tough matchup on Friday as he faces the Western Conference's second-best offense in the Blackhawks, who score 3.00 goals per game.

Our models project Greiss for 17.6 fantasy points, 2.5 goals allowed, 27.5 saves, and a 44.0% chance of earning the win.
