Greiss inked a two-year, $7.2 million deal with the Red Wings on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss went 16-9-4 with a 2.74 GAA and .913 save percentage in 31 appearances for the Islanders last season. The veteran netminder figures to split time with Jonathan Bernier next year, though he could take hold of the starting job with some strong performances to start the 2020-21 campaign.

Greiss allowed three goals on nine shots before he was replaced by Semyon Varlamov in Monday's 8-2 loss to the Lightning in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

The Islanders as a whole looked unprepared for a rested Lightning squad, and Greiss wasn't good enough to cover their flaws. He had allowed just two goals combined in his previous two starts, including a Game 7 shutout win over the Flyers to get to the Eastern Conference finals. It remains to be seen if head coach Barry Trotz will give Greiss another chance or turn to Varlamov in Wednesday's Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss booked the Islanders' ticket to the Eastern Conference finals with a strong 16-save shutout in Game 7 against the Flyers. The 34-year-old appeared in three games last series, posting an incredible .960 save percentage and 1.08 GAA. If he keeps up those numbers, he should stay in goal ahead of Semyon Varlamov.

Greiss stopped all 16 Philadelphia shots in a 4-0 Game 7 win Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Islanders turned to Greiss after Semyon Varlamov had struggled in the previous two games, and the 34-year-old was hardly tested by the Flyers. Still, he was plenty sharp when needed and helped New York advance to the Eastern Conference finals. Greiss logged a sparkling .960 save percentage over his three appearances (two starts) in the series, and Islanders head coach Barry Trotz might have a decision on his hands for Game 1 against Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Semyon Varlamov lost two straight games and allowed a combined nine goals in the process, so head coach Barry Trotz is putting the Islanders' season in Greiss' hands. Greiss has only played two games in August -- both against the Flyers -- and recorded a .949 save percentage and 1.68 GAA.

Greiss made 36 saves on 38 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Flyers in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss got the nod for the second game of a back-to-back and ran with it, doing enough to help the Islanders extend their series lead to 3-1. The German goalie has played only twice in the playoffs, but he's stopped 56 of 59 shots in that span. Head coach Barry Trotz can trust Greiss to put in a good effort should Semyon Varlamov falter or suffer an injury.

EDGE Analysis

Semyon Varlamov stopped 26 of 27 shots in Saturday's Game 3 victory, so Greiss will get the nod for the second night of the back-to-back. In his only appearance this postseason, the 34-year-old stopped 20 of 21 shots in relief during the Game 2 loss against the Flyers. He recorded a 2.74 GAA and .913 save percentage during the regular season.

Greiss replaced Semyon Varlamov late in the first period Wednesday during the Islanders' 4-3 overtime loss to the Flyers in Game 2 of their second-round series, stopping 20 of 21 shots.

EDGE Analysis

Seeing his first game action of the postseason, Greiss was impressive and gave the Isles a chance to climb out of an early 3-0 hole, but the netminder still got stuck with the loss when Philippe Myers' shot from the point tipped off Anders Lee's stick and got by him in OT. Varlamov has been outstanding in the playoffs and isn't likely to lose his starting job after one shaky period, but with the next game of the series coming right up Thursday, Greiss could potentially make his first start while Varlamov gets a chance to clear his head.

Greiss has a 16-9-4 record along with a 2.74 GAA and .913 save percentage this season.

EDGE Analysis

Those are solid numbers for a backup goaltender but far from the 2.28 GAA and .927 save percentage that Greiss posted last year. Greiss will more likely than not find himself playing for a new team next season as Semyon Varlamov is signed with the Isles for three more years and Ilya Sorokin is finally expected to make his way to North America from the KHL.

Greiss stopped 25 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

He played well, but Greiss still wound up extending his winless streak to four games. The 34-year-old has gotten the hook in two of those four starts, and on the season he now carries a 2.74 GAA and .913 save percentage.
