Can they do it again?
It’s the question that reverberated throughout the summer about the Islanders, especially towards the team’s goalies given their Jennings Trophy victory. With Robin Lehner out and Semyon Varlamov in, much of the conversation was about a transformation in the “starter’s net.” No one talked much about Thomas Greiss, who has quietly played in 40 games in all but one season with the Islanders (2017-18).
It fits Greiss’ personality like a glove. By all accounts, he is an unassuming, even-keeled guy who just goes about doing his job well.
