Thomas Greiss failed to get his second win of the 2013 season as the Phoenix Coyotes beat his San Jose Sharks 2-1 on Wednesday.

Greiss is 1-4-0 on the season, losing or getting a non-decision in every appearance since he began the campaign with a 24-save shutout on Jan. 26. Greiss has only played in three games since March began. The Sharks might decide to give Antti Niemi another breather, however, as the Finn has played a lot lately.

Thomas Greiss will get the start Wednesday night against the Coyotes.

A day after clinching a playoff spot, Antti Niemi will finally get a break. In five games this season, Greiss is 1-3-0 with a 2.64 goals-against average and .909 save percentage.

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?

The San Jose Sharks have activated Thomas Greiss (neck) off of the injured reserve list.

Greiss has also completed his conditioning stint in the minors. He'll resume his duties as Antti Niemi's understudy, which don't involve much playing time.

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 (neck) has been sent to the minors on a conditioning stint.

Greiss hasn't played since March 6. That's part of the reason Antti Niemi has started in 29 of the Sharks' 33 games, although it helps that Niemi wouldn't have gotten too many breaks either way.

Thomas Greiss (neck) skated with his teammates again on Wednesday.

He has missed the last nine games, but coach Todd McLellan is encouraged by his progress. Alex Stalock will continue to fill in as Antti Niemi's backup in his place.
