Thomas Greiss Is Improving And Up And Down Players

from Ansar Khan of Mlive,

The Detroit Red Wings are starting to see the experienced, proven goaltender they were expecting when they signed Thomas Greiss in the offseason.

Greiss has strung together three solid starts, culminating with a 27-save performance Sunday in a 5-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena.

In four appearances since being pulled less than eight minutes into a 7-1 loss at Nashville on March 25, the 35-year-old has stopped 111-of-118 shots in 226 minutes (1.86 goals-against average, .941 save percentage).

The Red Wings will need more of that from Greiss the final five weeks of the season, especially if they trade Jonathan Bernier by the April 12 deadline.
