Thomas Greiss Takes Hard-Luck Loss Friday Night
6 years agoNew York Islanders goaltender Thomas Greiss stopped all 41 shots he faced in regulation and in overtime on Friday night against the high-octane Tampa Bay Islanders. However, he let in one goal to Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman and that was the difference in the 1-0 loss. It's a shame either goaltender has to take a loss in this one, as Greiss and All-Star Andrei Vasilevskiy were matching each other save for save. This could have been a potential playoff preview, as these first-place clubs are likely to meet for higher stakes later. The Islanders are back home on Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings, and it's likely Robin Lehner is in net after Greiss was forced to work overtime.
