Thomas Greiss

Greiss has been a godsend for New York this season. After struggling to find a legitimate backup goaltender for quite a few seasons, Garth Snow signed Greiss, who has posted a 2.26 GAA and .927 SV% in 10 games.

The former Coyotes netminder has helped fans forget about guys such as Chad Johnson, Michal Neuvirth and Kevin Poulin, and that is quite a good thing.
