Greiss was pulled after he allowed three goals on 17 shots in the Islanders win over the Senators on December 28th. Greiss hasn’t played much recently because Robin Lehner has been the hottest goalie in the NHL but Greiss will get a crack at the Hurricanes tonight. He is 3-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and .973 SV% vs. the Hurricanes this season.

Lehner was scheduled to start the front-end of the Islanders back-to-back on Friday with Greiss going on Saturday but head coach Barry Trotz elected to switch it up. Greiss has been steady all season and is a great option against a below-average Senators team.
