Islanders' Greiss to join Germany at World Championship
by from on (#1DHZ3)
After backstopping the New York Islanders to their first second-round playoff appearance since 1993, goaltender Thomas Greiss will head to St. Petersburg to represent Germany at the World Championship.
The 30-year-old will arrive in time to play in Friday's game against Belarus, head coach Marco Sturm told TSN's Ryan Rishaug. He reportedly could have played in Wednesday's game - a 5-2 loss to Canada - but was delayed by visa issues.
Greiss last represented his country at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, where he allowed 12 goals across three losses.
