Islanders' Thomas Greiss: Holds off third-period comeback for win
Greiss saved 31 of 34 shots to fend off a potential third-period comeback during Wednesday's win over the Penguins.
Analysis:
The Islanders and Greiss allowed three third-period goals, letting Pittsburgh tie the game 3-3, but the skaters bailed their goalie out with two goals in the final minute. Greiss improved to 5-4 with the win, but his save percentage dropped to .919. It's still an impressive mark, and Greiss has the potential to earn a 50-50 timeshare -- or better -- between the pipes with Jaroslav Halak not playing well. He's worth owning in most seasonal leagues.
