NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — As far as Thomas Greiss is concerned, the puck is as big as a garbage can lid right now.
The Islanders’ goaltender earned a place among the NHL’s 3 Stars of The Week on Monday, grabbing the second spot between Pittsburgh’s Conor Sheary and Washington’s T.J. Oshie, the league announced.
Greiss went 2-0-1 with a 0.98 goals-against average, .971 save percentage and two shutouts to guide the Islanders (19-17-9, 47 points) to seven points in four games. He opened the week with consecutive shutouts, registering 32 saves in a 4-0 victory at Boston on Jan.
