Greiss will get the starting nod for Sunday's game in Anaheim, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss will make his first start of the calendar year Sunday. He's 2-1-0 over his last five outings despite a 3.42 GAA and an .876 save percentage. On the year, the veteran netminder is 6-7-0 with a 3.41 GAA. Greiss hasn't earned a win on the road since Oct. 27 in Washington.

Greiss allowed two goals on 26 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Capitals. The third goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss only got one goal of support in this contest, and the Capitals were able to break through with Alex Ovechkin's power-play tally in the third period. The 35-year-old Greiss allowed 12 goals across five appearances in December. He's now 6-7-0 with a 3.41 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 15 contests this year. Alex Nedeljkovic cleared COVID-19 protocols and backed up Greiss on Friday, so it could be the former who earns the starting nod Sunday versus the Bruins.

Greiss will get the starting nod for Friday's home tilt with Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss will make his first appearance since he stopped 31-of-33 shots in a Dec. 18 win over the Devils. The veteran netminder is 6-6-0 with a disappointing 3.52 GAA and .893 save percentage through 14 appearances. He's been much better at home this season, going 5-1-0 with a .942 save percentage.

Greiss and the Red Wings won't face the Islanders on Wednesday due to COVID-19 postponements.

Greiss and the Red Wings have had their schedule paused through the holiday break.
EDGE Analysis
This adds one more postponement to the Red Wings' schedule -- they'll no longer play the Wild on Thursday. With Alex Nedeljkovic among the nine Red Wings in the virus protocols, Greiss is the current No. 1 option in net should his crease-mate not be ready to return Dec. 27 versus the Rangers.

Greiss stopped 32 of 34 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss couldn't do much about the two goals he allowed, but he got scoring help from Dylan Larkin (hat trick) and Tyler Bertuzzi (two goals) to earn the win. This was one of Greiss's better performances this season. The German netminder improved to 6-6-0 with a 3.52 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 14 games. While those ratios aren't very inspiring, Greiss figures to start Thursday versus the Wild if Alex Nedeljkovic (COVID-19 protocols) remains unavailable.

Greiss led the Red Wings onto the ice, indicating he'll start Saturday's home game versus the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
This comes as no surprise with Alex Nedeljkovic in the COVID-19 protocols. Greiss has not played a full game since Dec. 1 -- he had an abbreviated start and a relief appearance in his last two outings. The 35-year-old owns a mediocre 3.67 GAA and an .889 save percentage through 13 games this year.

Greiss gave up three goals on seven shots in 10:49 of Friday's 7-3 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss was chased from the contest quickly just one game after he entered in relief of Alex Nedeljkovic against the Blues. Needless to say, goaltending hasn't been the Red Wings' strength this week. Greiss has a 3.67 GAA and an .889 save percentage in 13 appearances. The only good news from Friday's debacle in the net is that the German didn't give up the deciding goal and therefore avoided taking a loss -- he remains 5-6-0.

Greiss will get the starting nod for Friday's tilt in Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Greiss coughed up two goals on seven shots in relief of Alex Nedeljkovic in Thursday's loss against St. Louis and now he'll get a start against the league's highest-scoring offense. The veteran netminder is 5-6-0 with a 3.44 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 12 games this season. He hasn't won on the road since Oct. 27 against Washington.

Greiss allowed two goals on seven shots in the third period of Thursday's 6-2 loss to St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Alex Nedeljkovic was pulled after allowing three goals in two periods, but Greiss wasn't any better. The Blues expanded their lead from 3-1 to 5-1 against Greiss before Detroit got one back and St. Louis countered with an empty-netter. The loss goes to Nedeljkovic, leaving Greiss' record at 5-6-0. Neither goalie has played well of late -- Greiss has posted a sub-.900 save percentage in each of his last four appearances, while Nedeljkovic hasn't reached .900 in any of his last three. Whichever guy finds his game first should get the majority of playing time in the short term.
