Greiss, of course, is the team’s back-up netminder with Antero Niittymaki expected to miss the next three months after undergoing hip surgery this week.
Greiss has played well during the preseason, alleviating any concerns about his skill level. As Evgeni Nabokov's backup, the German 'tender found his way into 19 games over parts of two seasons. He's proven a capable backup in the past with relatively no starter experience at the NHL level.
If Niittymaki isn’t good to go, Thomas Greiss becomes the heir-apparent as the back-up to starter Antti Niemi — though there’s always the possibility that exhibition season results could change things.
Fresh off a year in Sweden, Greiss could challenge Niemi for some playing time. As Evgeni Nabokov's backup, the German 'tender found his way into 19 games over parts of two seasons. He's proven a capable backup in the past with relatively no starter experience at the NHL level.
San Jose Sharks Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Wilson announced today that the team has re-signed goaltender Thomas Greiss to two-year contract.
