Thomas Greiss has the Columbus Blue Jackets number. Plain and simple.
Going into tonight, the Jackets knew this New York Islanders team was dangerous. Predicted to miss the postseason and finish last after the departure of John Tavares this offseason, the Islanders currently sit in FIRST PLACE in the Metropolitan division.
This is the Jackets THIRD loss to the New York Islanders this season, previously being SHUTOUT the last time out by Thomas Greiss once again 3-0, and back on December 1st, where the Jackets lost 3-2. Whether it was the Nassau Coliseum atmosphere, or just the team, the Jackets track record in New York is less than stellar.
