Thomas Greiss will be in goal Friday for the Islanders

New York Islanders goalie Thoams Greiss is starting in goal in the club's season opener on Friday night.

What It Means:

Greiss is entering his third season with the Islanders and the second one as the team's primary goaltender. He was a bit of a disappointment in 2016-17 with a .913 save percentage, 2.65 goals against average, and 26-18-5 record in 50 games played.

Our models project Greiss for 2.8 goals allowed, 28.1 saves, and a 49.0% chance of winning for 17.4 FanDuel points in Friday's opener versus the Columbus Blue Jackets.
