Greiss turned aside all 19 shots faced during Friday's 2-0 road wing against the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

The Capitals may have made it easy on him, but Greiss has only conceded one goal on 58 shots faced over his last two games. The German netminder is locked into a timeshare with Robin Lehner, but a few more nights like Friday could alter that arrangement.

Greiss will patrol the road crease in Friday's game versus the Capitals, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss returns to the starter's crease after Robin Lehner played the last two games. After a patch of bumpy play, Greiss rebounded in his last outing with a 38-save performance against the Lightning, allowing just one goal and garnering the win. The Caps are a high-powered bunch but are on a skid with three straight losses and just four goals in that span, giving Greiss a solid opportunity to steal a win.

Greiss was spectacular Sunday, making 38 saves in a 5-1 win over the visiting Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss' record improves to 13-8-1 with a 2.62 GAA and .918 save percentage. The German goaltender nearly shut out the league's highest-scoring offense, but Ryan McDonagh scored to make it 4-1 late in the second period. Josh Bailey would add an empty-net goal late in the third period.

Greiss will start in goal Sunday against the visiting Lightning, Brian Compton of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Islanders have a back-to-back set of games on tap, with Robin Lehner getting the draw against the Rangers on Saturday afternoon. Greiss gets the much tougher assignment against a Lightning squad that boasts the league's top offense by means of averaging 4.09 goals per game and setting the bar extremely high on the power play with an eye-popping 30 percent conversion rate.

Greiss allowed four goals on 24 shots during Tuesday's loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

This was the veteran netminder's fourth start against the Islanders this season, and he yielded just three goals on 112 shots in the previous three outings. This was quite the step back, although the Canes are on a hot streak with their fifth straight win. Greiss will return to being a spot starter behind Robin Lehner, who is on his own seven-game win streak.

Greiss will start in the home net Tuesday versus the Hurricanes, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robin Lehner has garnered the team's last four starts, so the Islanders will allow Greiss to patrol the crease for the first time of the new year. The veteran has been a solid backstop this season with a .917 save percentage and 2.63 GAA. Greiss has elevated his game against the Canes this year, allowing just one goal and recording a win in all three outings.

Greiss will guard the cage in Friday's home game against the Senators, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Several reports indicated Robin Lehner would get the start in goal against Ottawa, but it ended up being Greiss who led the Islanders onto the ice for pregame warmups. The 32-year-old netminder has been sharp recently, maintaining an impressive 2.01 GAA and .948 save percentage through his last two appearances. He'll look to keep rolling and pick up his 13th victory of the campaign in a favorable home matchup with a Senators team that's 4-12-1 on the road this season.

Greiss is expected to face the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Barry Trotz has stated that Robin Lehner and Greiss will split the starts when the team plays back to back games. Greiss is still technically the starting goaltender for the Islanders but Trotz is likely to go with the hot hand more often than not with Greiss getting the benefit of the doubt. On the season Greiss has a 2.53 GAA and .920 save percentage in 22 games.

Greiss stopped 43 of 46 shots Thursday, but it wasn't enough as his team fell 4-2 against Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

This might have just been inevitable considering just how many pucks the Golden Knights got to the net against Greiss, who actually finished with a great save percentage but simply couldn't hold on in the face of such a barrage. This loss wasn't on him and shouldn't deter you from starting him in Dallas on Sunday, assuming he plays.

Greiss will lineup between the pipes for the Islanders on Thursday as they take on the Golden Knights, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss is on a hot streak as he has won three straight games. During this streak Greiss has stopped 71 of 77 shots. On the season Greiss has been a pleasant surprise with a solid 2.50 GAA and .919 save percentage in 21 games this season.
