Islanders: Best Player To Wear Number 1

Today we're starting a new series where we are going to look at the best players to put on the New York Islanders sweater by number. Getting things started at the beginning we have 14 players in team history to wear number one.

Some notables are Rolan Melanson, Roberto Longo, Rick DiPietro (2001-2003), and Thomas Griess. Greisser was probably the closest "honorable mention" on this list to dethroning our champion.

Over five seasons with the Isles, Greiss has played in 193 games with a .915 goals against average and a 2.70 goals against average. His best year came in the 2018-2019 season when he was the 1B with Robin Lehner.
