Greiss saw his first action of November in a relief effort of Mike Smith last Saturday, he stopped all four shots that he saw. Smith has started the last 10 consecutive games posting a 3.10 GAA and .910 SV% so he is due for a breather. In limited action Greiss is 2-1-0 with a 2.37 GAA and .928 SV%. This was an optional skate so leaving the ice first, doesn't necessarily mean he is starting, we will confirm when coach Dave Tippet announces his starter.
Greiss will make his second start tonight against the Predators. He has relieved Mike Smith on two separate occasions and carries a 1-1-0 record with a 2.01 GAA and .940 SV%. A quiet night in the NHL makes Greiss an interesting spot start candidate.
Greiss made his Coyotes debut on Tuesday when he came in to relieve Mike Smith. He stopped seven of the eight shots he faced. Tonight be his first start as a Coyote and it would be against the 1-3-0 Flyers.

Greiss goes from Antti Niemi's backup in San Jose to Mike Smith's backup in Phoenix.
Greiss has not received much of a chance to play this season with Niemi playing so well. He is just 1-3-0 with a 2.64 GAA and .909 SV%. He has a good matchup vs. the Yotes tonight, but at this time of the year, do you really want to start a guy who is making just his fifth start of the year?
Greiss has missed the last 11 games with a neck injury. In four games this season, Greiss has posted a 1-3-0 record with a 2.78 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage
Greiss, who has been out since March 9 with what is officially being called a sore neck, was hurt when he was run over in a game in Calgary on March 7. Alex Stalock has served as Antti Niemi’s backup for the past four games, and will continue to do so for at least the next two. McLellan left open the possibility that Greiss could join the team on the road.
Greiss gets the start on the second night of back to backs.
This will be Greiss' third start of the year and he has been good in a backup role this season. He is 1-1-0 with a 1.01 GAA and .964 SV%. He isn't a great fantasy option simply because Niemi is the clear #1 and will see the majority of starts. That being said he is a great spot start tonight vs. the Blue Jackets.
Greiss had a shutout in his first start this season. He doesn't have very much fantasy value due to the limited amount of starts he is expected to get. However the way the Sharks have been playing he could be worth a spot start tonight.
The Sharks have a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday and it is likely that Greiss gets the start tonight against Anaheim and Niemi against the Blackhawks tomorrow. Check back closer to game-time for confirmation.
Greiss now confirmed to start tonight. Niemi most likely in tomorrow vs. Vancouver.
Greiss is making his first start of the season in the weekend's back-to-back games. Greiss has proven to be a competent backup but the timeshare should be heavily favouring Niemi this season.
Greiss has never faced the Canes.
Greiss has never faced the Capitals in his career.
In two career appearances against the Stars, Greiss has no record, a 4.60 GAA and .818 SV%.
Greiss won his only career start against the Oilers, stopping 27 of 29 shots faced.
