Greiss was the first goalie off the ice Thursday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating he will get the starting nod against Los Angeles.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss will be making his fourth appearance in the Isles' last five contests, having posted a 1-0-2 record and .929 save percentage in his previous three outings. The German netminder hasn't lost in regulation since Dec. 27 versus the Blackhawks, a run of six games in which he went 3-0-2. If Greiss remains on top of his game, coach Barry Trotz could continue giving him more opportunities over Semyon Varlamov.

Greiss stopped 20 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
It took a Brock Nelson goal inside the final minute with Greiss on the bench just to get the game to OT, and the netminder then promptly coughed up a goal to Quinn Hughes 42 seconds into extra time. Despite the stumble, Greiss still hasn't lost in regulation since Dec. 27, going 3-0-2 over his last five starts. On the season, he carries a 2.50 GAA and .922 save percentage.

Greiss will tend the home twine Saturday versus the Canucks, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss was spectacular before the break, making at least 30 saves in three straight games and posting a 2-0-1 record and .955 save percentage in that stretch. He'll get the nod instead of Semyon Varlamov as a result. Vancouver has been a bit inconsistent on the road this year, ranking 14th with 2.92 goals per game.

Greiss made 40 saves while allowing two goals in a 4-2 victory over the Rangers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers outshot the Islanders 42-18, but thanks to Greiss, the Islanders won rather handily. The Islanders led 4-0 until the Rangers scored two late third-period goals. Greiss heads into the All-Star break with similar numbers to last season, when he posted a .927 save percentage and 2.28 GAA, both of which were career bests. He is 14-7-1 with a 2.43 GAA and .925 save percentage in 24 games this season.

According to Arthur Staple of The Athletic, Greiss was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, indicating he'll get the start in goal on the road against the Rangers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss was razor sharp in his last start Sunday against the Hurricanes, turning aside 31 of 32 shots, but he ultimately suffered his eighth loss of the season due to a lack of goal support from his teammates. The 33-year-old netminder will attempt to get back in the win column in a road matchup with a Rangers team that's averaging 3.54 goals per game at home this year, fifth in the NHL.

Greiss stopped 31 of 32 shots Sunday in a 2-1 shootout loss to Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss allowed an Andrei Svechnikov goal six minutes into the game and then slammed the door for the duration of regulation time. Unfortunately, the offensive support he received in Tuesday's 8-2 win over Detroit was nowhere to be found Sunday. Greiss is 13-7-1 with a 2.45 GAA and .923 save percentage in his 23 appearances.

Greiss is the confirmed starter for Sunday's road game versus the Hurricanes, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss will make his third start in 12 games, as Semyon Varlamov has taken over as the No. 1. However, Gross relayed that coach Barry Trotz may revert to a timeshare following the All-Star break. Greiss has been decent on the road this year with a .915 save percentage and 5-5-0 record, and he'll draw a Hurricanes team that has lost three straight while totaling three goals.

Greiss is expected to lineup between the pipes as the Islanders take on the Hurricanes on Sunday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The start will only be the second for Greiss in the past 12 games as Semyon Varlamov has been given an extended run as the starter. Coach Barry Trotz indicated Sunday however that following the All-Star break he is likely to go back to a rotation between Varlamov and Greiss. The reason for this is likely because Varlamov has had a couple of rough starts over the past week, giving up six goals each to the Rangers and Capitals. In any case, the Islanders rely on strong play from the goaltenders as scoring has been a consistent problem for the team all season long.

Greiss allowed two goals on 36 shots, finishing Tuesday's 8-2 win over Detroit with 34 saves
EDGE Analysis
Greiss is 13-7-0 and sits 16th in save percentage (.921). Despite having won his last two starts, he is now the backup to Semyon Varlamov, and with that, Greiss will likely be on his team's bench Thursday when it hosts the Rangers.

According to Andrew Gross of Newsday, Greiss was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, indicating he'll get the start in goal at home Tuesday against Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss was solid in his last start last Tuesday against New Jersey, stopping 32 of 35 shots en route to a 4-3 win. The 33-year-old German will look to keep rolling in a favorable home matchup with a bottom-feeding Red Wings team that's gone 4-16-2 on the road this year.
