Greiss hasn't been handed a loss in regulation in seven straight starts, going 4-0-3, and the hot streak has tempered his ratios on the season to a somewhat palatable 2.83 GAA and .908 save percentage.

Greiss is starting Tuesday's game against Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
Somewhat surprisingly, Greiss is actually unbeaten in regulation across his last five appearances, posting a 3-0-1 record with some impressive numbers (2.11 GAA, .934 save percentage). Still, with an ugly 6-15-7 showing and a GAA just south of 3.00 (2.95) this year, it's tough to recommend Greiss -- even against the Blue Jackets, who are two points behind Detroit in the standings.

Greiss stopped all 11 shots he faced in relief of Jonathan Bernier in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss entered the action early in the second period, and he was able to keep the deficit from growing. The 35-year-old netminder stayed at 5-15-7 through 30 appearances, but his GAA dropped to 2.95 with a .902 save percentage this year. He's been better than Bernier since the latter returned from a leg injury. The Red Wings aren't chasing a playoff spot, so they can afford to rotate their goalies evenly, regardless of performance.
