Greiss allowed three goals on nine shots in Thursday's 7-3 loss to Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss came into the game at the start of the third period after Jonathan Bernier suffered an apparent upper-body injury. He didn't look sharp, getting beaten on a pair of long-distance shots among the three goals he allowed. Greiss is winless in his five appearances (four starts) this season and owns a 3.04 GAA with an .899 save percentage.

Greiss made 20 saves in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

It was another hard-luck loss for Greiss, who dropped to 0-4-0 despite having allowed three goals or fewer in all four of his appearances, two of which were one-goal defeats. Detroit is averaging fewer than two goals per game offensively, so wins are going to be tough to come by for Greiss and teammate Jonathan Bernier unless the Red Wings can find a way to unlock more offense. Consider Greiss strictly a matchup streamer at best for the time being.

Greiss will defend the road goal in Tuesday's game versus the Stars, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss and Jonathan Bernier have been alternating in the crease, and now the former will make his fourth start of the season. The 34-year-old has yet to record a win this year. He's recorded a .918 save percentage and a 2.74 GAA over three games. The Stars are coming off a two-game series sweep against the Predators in which they totaled 10 goals.

Greiss allowed three goals on 27 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Blackhawks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss can't fully be blamed for the loss, as two of the Blackhawks' goals came on the power play. The 34-year-old goalie is still looking for his first win, having dropped all three of his appearances this year. He's surrendered eight goals on 98 shots for a .918 save percentage, while playing behind a mediocre Red Wings team will make wins scarce. It's unclear if Greiss or Jonathan Bernier will get the nod for Sunday's rematch.

Greiss will defend the road goal in Friday's matchup against the Blackhawks, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss has been solid through his first two starts with the Red Wings, putting together a .930 save percentage and a 2.59 GAA. However, he was tagged with losses in each game due to a lack of offensive support. The matchup against the Blackhawks is favorable, though, as they've averaged just 2.25 goals per game so far and remain winless.

Greiss made 26 saves in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran netminder didn't play badly but a couple of defensive hiccups by Detroit, and a lack of offensive support, handed Greiss his second loss in as many starts despite a .930 save percentage. Expect Jonathan Bernier to get the nod in net Tuesday in a rematch with Columbus.

Greiss is expected to start Monday's matinee against the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss made 40 saves in his Red Wings debut but was still saddled with a loss against Carolina as his teammates failed to muster any goal support. Detroit bounced back with a win in the next game with Jonathan Bernier in net, and Greiss will hope for a similar effort from Detroit's skaters here against a Columbus team that's still searching for its first win of 2020-21.

Greiss stopped 40 of 42 shots in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss stood on his head and it still wasn't nearly enough against a Carolina team that outshot Detroit 43-14, including an empty-net goal after Greiss was pulled for an extra attacker late. Even if the German netminder pulls away from Jonathan Bernier as the Red Wings' clear-cut starter, wins will be hard to come by on a team that finished in last place last season and didn't look any better in this one.

Greiss is slated to be between the pipes against Carolina on Thursday after being the first goalie off the morning skate, per Max Bultman of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss gets the nod over long-time Red Wing Jonathan Bernier for the club's Opening Night clash. Given the shortened schedule, fantasy players should probably expect the duo to split the starts this year, barring an impressive run of form by one of the tenders. In 31 outings last year with the Islanders, the 33-year-old Greiss posted a 16-9-4 record with a 2.74 GAA.

Greiss will rotate with Jonathan Bernier early in the season before the coaching staff officially names a starting goaltender for the Red Wings, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss, an Islanders castoff who signed a two-year, $7.2 million contract in the offseason, reportedly turned heads in Detroit's final scrimmage Sunday. "I think Greiss looks real calm," head coach Jeff Blashill said. "He's a real unflappable guy, nothing seems to bother him." The German backstop is accustomed to sharing the net, and he owns a career 2.63 GAA and .915 save percentage over 12 years of service time between four teams.
