In his first two years with the New York Islanders, Thomas Greiss exceeded expectations. In year one, Greiss had career high’s in save percentage and goals against average while stepping in for the injured Jaroslav Halak.
He was one of the biggest reason’s why the Islanders managed to escape the clutches of the first round of the NHL Playoffs. In year two he played a career-high 51 games. He took a step back, but he was relatively average with a .913 save percentage and a 2.69 goals against average.
Last year, year three, the wheels fell off.
