Greiss stopped 21 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss gave up two goals to Ryan Donato and a power-play tally to Vince Dunn, but he was able to turn aside three of the Kraken's four shootout attempts to secure the win. The 35-year-old Greiss had lost his previous three starts and had recently ceded playing time to Alex Nedeljkovic. With a 5-6-0 record, a 3.34 GAA and an .899 save percentage in 11 games, Greiss is likely better suited to a backup role anyway. He'll likely make his next start in a road back-to-back set Dec. 9 versus the Blues or Dec. 10 against the Avalanche.

Greiss will start Wednesday's game versus the Kraken, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Alex Nedeljkovic defeated the Bruins on Tuesday. The Kraken have found their way recently, while Greiss hasn't played since he was pulled Nov. 18 against the Golden Knights, so he could be a bit rusty.

Greiss surrendered four goals on 22 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss ended up taking the loss in this contest, with Alex Nedeljkovic taking the third period. The 35-year-old Greiss has lost five of his last six games -- he's now at a 4-6-0 record with a 3.41 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 10 starts. While neither of the Red Wings' goalies have taken a firm grasp on the No. 1 job, Nedeljkovic has posted better ratios (2.92 GAA, .912 save percentage) and he would be a more attractive option in fantasy than the struggling Greiss.

Greiss will protect the road goal Thursday versus the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss continues to alternate games with Alex Nedeljkovic. In his last five starts, Greiss is 1-4-0 with 18 goals allowed. He's a risky play in fantasy against a Golden Knights team that has weathered some injuries with better success in November.

Greiss surrendered four goals on 37 shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jackets were able to pull ahead with two goals in a span of 2:59 late in the third period against Greiss. The 35-year-old was busier than his goaltending counterpart Elvis Merzlikins in the contest. Greiss slipped to 4-5-0 with a 3.20 GAA and a .907 save percentage in nine appearances this year. Alex Nedeljkovic is likely to start the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday in Dallas.

Greiss will be stationed between the pipes for Monday's contest in Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss has been very inconsistent lately, going 2-4-0 with a 3.85 GAA and an .889 save percentage over his last six outings. He's coughed up five goals three times during that span. The 35-year-old has registered an unsightly 4.85 GAA through four road games this season.

Greiss stopped 27 of 29 shots Thursday in a 2-0 loss to Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Washington's Dmitry Orlov and Lars Eller scored 10 seconds apart in the first period to account for the only offense in this one. Greiss was outdueled at the other end of the ice by 26-year-old Zach Fucale, who registered a shutout in his first NHL start. Greiss has been sharp in back-to-back starts for Detroit, stopping 65 of 69 shots (.942 save percentage) over those two contests.

Greiss led the Red Wings onto the ice, indicating he'll start in goal in Thursday's home game versus the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

For the bulk of the season, Greiss has alternated starts with Alex Nedeljkovic. Greiss has won two of his last four starts, allowing 14 goals on 143 shots in that span. While the Capitals are missing a handful of key players, they remain a tough opponent for the 35-year-old.

Greiss turned away 38 of 40 shots in a 5-2 win over Vegas on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Greiss was beaten by Nicolas Roy less than four minutes into the game but settled in after that, allowing just a Jonathan Marchessault third-period snipe the rest of the way. It was a good bounce-back for Greiss following Thursday's 5-1 loss in Boston. The 35-year-old netminder improved to 4-3-0 on the year with a 3.24 GAA and .906 save percentage.

Greiss is starting Sunday's game against visiting Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

At 3-3-0 with an ugly 3.45 GAA and .897 save percentage, Greiss makes for a shaky play, at best, against Vegas. That said, the Golden Knights are just 2-for-21 on the power play (for a 31st-ranked 9.5 percent), and the Wings have Dylan Larkin back in the lineup, so Greiss' chances for a victory could be better than they seem in this one.
