The Hockey News’s Sam McCaig ranked the NHL’s 31 probable starting goaltenders this morning, and McCaig believes that Thomas Greiss will out-duel Jonathan Bernier for the Wings’ starting spot:
19. Thomas Greiss, Detroit Red Wings
Plenty familiar with platoon duty after playing with Lehner and then Varlamov on Long Island, Greiss gets a chance for full-on No. 1 status in Detroit – provided he can hold off Jonathan Bernier, who was one of the Wings’ few good-news stories last season.
