Greiss gave up seven goals on 32 shots in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
In the second half of a back-to-back, head coach Jeff Blashill didn't bring in Jonathan Bernier as Greiss spiraled out of control in the third period. The 35-year-old Greiss displayed his displeasure after the seventh tally, smashing his stick on the post and crossbar. The German netminder's terrible outing dropped his record to 1-11-3 with a 3.46 GAA and an .882 save percentage in 15 outings. He had his run as starter when Bernier was hurt, but Greiss can safely be considered the backup now.

Greiss will patrol the crease in Sunday's road matchup against Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
After Jonathan Bernier earned a win over the Blackhawks on Saturday, Greiss will get the start for the second half of the back-to-back. The 35-year-old will make his first appearance since coughing up four goals on just 13 shots against the Panthers on Feb. 19 before he was pulled from the contest. He owns a 3.16 GAA and .891 save percentage on the season.

Greiss stopped nine of 13 shots before being replaced by Jonathan Bernier to begin the second period in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder didn't have much chance on any of the goals, and Bernier didn't fare much better after taking over the crease, but Greiss was still on the hook for his league-leading 10th loss of the season. He now has a shaky 3.16 GAA and .891 save percentage through 14 appearances, but with Bernier now healthy the duo should move into a timeshare rather than Greiss having to shoulder the load alone.

Greiss will defend the home net in Friday's game versus the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss has shown flashes of brilliance this season, affording some intrigue for daily fantasy purposes. However, a lack of offensive support often leaves the 35-year-old on the losing end, as he's produced an .899 save percentage and a 1-9-3 record so far. The Panthers present a tough task Friday, as they enter the game ranked ninth in the league with 3.36 goals per game.

Greiss kicked out 21 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss was handed his third consecutive one-goal defeat when Chicago's Dominik Kubalik beat him on a 2-on-1 rush with 17 seconds left in overtime. The 34-year-old, who hasn't had a losing record since going 1-4-0 in a cup of coffee with San Jose in 2012-13, dropped to 1-9-3 on the year with a 2.90 GAA and .899 save percentage.

Greiss is the expected starter for Monday's home contest against Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss watched from the bench Saturday against Nashville after starting the previous nine games. He's struggled for most of the season so far, recording a .901 save percentage and 2.91 GAA to go with a brutal 1-9-2 record. He last faced Chicago on Jan. 22, giving up three goals on 27 shots in a loss.

Greiss stopped 20 of 23 shots Thursday in a 3-2 loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Nashville's Dante Fabbro beat Greiss with a long point shot through traffic, breaking a 2-2 tie with one minute left in regulation and sending Greiss to his sixth one-goal defeat this season. Greiss hasn't allowed more than three goals in a single start all year, but the wins just aren't going to be there behind this lowly Red Wings squad.

Greiss will get the starting nod for Thursday's road matchup against the Predators, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran will get the nod for the fourth consecutive game Thursday, as he's coming off a 20-save performance in a 2-1 loss to Florida. It's been a rough start backstopping one of the worst teams in the league for Greiss, as he's gone 1-8-2 along with a 2.90 GAA and .904 save percentage in 11 apperances this campaign. Greiss will draw a great matchup against a Predators offense that sits 29th in the league in goals per game this season (2.13).

Greiss made 20 saves in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
He shut down the Florida offense for the final half of the game and gave his team a chance to come up with an equalizer, but not surprisingly the underpowered Wings offense couldn't find one. Greiss is now au ugly 1-8-2 to begin his first season in Detroit, but his 2.90 GAA and .904 save percentage are remarkably respectable given the lack of talent in front of him.

Greiss is slated to tend the twine for Tuesday's road matchup with Florida, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss finally secured his first win of the season versus the Panthers on Sunday after going without a win in his first nine appearances for the Red Wings. Considering his 1-7-2 record, Greiss's numbers actually aren't that terrible, as he is sporting a 3.00 GAA and .903 save percentage. Unfortunately, the veteran netminder probably shouldn't be expecting much in the way of offensive backing given Detroit is scoring just 2.00 goals per game (second lowest in the league).
