— Jeremy Rutherford (@jprutherford) July 13, 2022Greiss made his NHL debut with the San Jose Sharks in 2007-08 but didn’t break out until nearly a decade later when he joined the New York Islanders. In four seasons with New York, Greiss posted a .913 save percentage and won the Jennings Trophy alongside Robin Lehner in 2018-19.
Greiss inked a two-year, $7.2 million deal with the Red Wings in free agency back in October of 2020. In two seasons with the Red Wings, Greiss posted a .901 save percentage across 31 games. The 36-year-old has a .912 save percentage in 347 NHL games.
The Blues will move forward with a goaltending tandem of Jordan Binnington and Greiss while the Red Wings will roll with Husso and Alex Nedeljkovic.
