Islanders' Thomas Greiss: Tending twine Saturday

Greiss will protect the cage on the road against the Stars on Saturday.

Greiss has not fared well since coming in for the injured Jaroslav Halak (groin), as he has a lone victory in four attempts along with a 2.72 GAA. It won't be good enough from the 30-year-old if he wants to help with the Islanders' playoff run. The netminder squares off against a Dallas squad that is getting back its fourth-best scorer and is averaging a league-best 3.21 goals per game.
