The New York Islanders received a career year from Thomas Greiss in 2018-2019 that nobody saw coming. The year prior, Greiss was virtually unusable as his goals against average was .892 and his save percentage was 3.82.
Granted, we thought he would improve after an outlier bad season, just not to the extent in which he did last year. Both he and Robin Lehner were fantastic in blue and orange last year and honestly, Greiss goes underappreciated.
Lehner stole the headlines with his off the ice story, and deservedly so, but Greiss was just as good and was a top-five goalie in the game last year.
