Greiss made 37 saves in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss made quite a few key stops and also got help from the iron on at least two occasions. Despite failing to hold onto a pair of one-goal leads in regulation, Greiss was able to seal the deal in the shootout by stopping five of six attempts. The German netminder has won both of his starts since returning from a month-long layoff, and he's allowed just two goals in each of those outings.

Greiss made 32 saves Saturday in a 4-2 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
It was his first start in 13 games. He last played Jan. 9 and then went into COVID-19 protocol Jan. 17. Greiss was sharp considering his long layoff and as his coach Jeff Blashill said post game, "the puck stuck to him." Greiss allowed a power-play goal through traffic right at the end of the second to make it 2-1, and then Scott Laughton tapped a loose puck past him at 9:49 of the third to make it 3-2.

Greiss (not injury related) will serve as the backup against Anaheim on Monday, per NHL.com.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss has been out of action since Jan. 9 versus the Ducks and may have to wait a while longer before getting an opportunity to play again. Considering Detroit has not back-to-backs in February, Greiss may only get a start or two coming out of the All-Star break, though Alex Nedlejkovic has been struggling of late which could open the door for the veteran.

Although Greiss cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Thursday, he won't be available for Friday's game against Pittsburgh or Saturday's matchup with the Maple Leafs due to conditioning issues, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss has been sidelined for over two weeks while in the league's COVID-19 protocols, so he'll need to log a number of practices before returning to game action. Alex Nedeljkovic and Calvin Pickard will continue to operate as Detroit's top-two netminders until Greiss is ready to rock.

Greiss (not injury related) departed the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Thursday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss was a spectator of Thursday's practice indicating won't return to play this weekend, Khan adds. The 25-year-old Greiss has missed the last 10 days and four games while in the virus protocols. Assuming he doesn't return for this weekend's back-to-back, the next game on Detroit's schedule is Monday against Anaheim.

Greiss (COVID-19 protocols) is expected to return to practice Thursday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
