One of the New York Islanders biggest issues this season has been goaltending. The tandem of Jaroslav Halak and Thomas Greiss have been far from reliable for large portions of the season in 2017-18.
Don’t get me wrong. They haven’t been bad all year long. Jaroslav Halak has certainly rebounded from a terrible start to the season. Firmly establishing himself as the New York Islanders starter. I, unfortunately, can’t say the same about Thomas Greiss.
With a 0.909SV% and 3.22 GAA Halak hasn’t been “good”. But he’s the best we’ve got. And to be fair, the team playing in front of him is largely to blame for those bad numbers.
