Thomas Greiss News

Greiss confirms he is starting tonight.

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%.

Greiss off the ice first. That usually indicates the starter but we'll see.

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 is off the ice first - he starts.

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 expected to go for Coyotes, has faced Flyers once, stopped 37 of 38 shots 10/25/09

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 would mark his first start as a Coyote and it would be against the 1-3-0 Flyers.

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?

Griess has been assigned to the Worcester Sharks (AHL) on a conditioning assignment.

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

Thomas Greiss remains on injured reserve and is not on the Sharks’ five-game road trip, which begins on Saturday night against the Kings.

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 off first so expect him in net vs. Mason tonight. #SJSharks

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 first goalie off so looks like he's in tonight #SJSharks

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.

According to Todd McLellan, there’s a “good chance” the 27-year-old German will play against the Ducks on Monday in Anaheim.

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.

Goaltender Thomas Greiss will likely make an appearance in one of the two games this weekend, and it looks like it might be on Saturday, as he was the first goalie off of the ice on Friday while Niemi stayed on for some extra work.

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.
