by Josh Gold-Smith from on (#57T17)
The New York Islanders are making a change in goal in their win-or-go-home affair against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Thomas Greiss is starting in place of Semyon Varlamov for the Islanders in Game 7.
Saturday's contest marks the first time Greiss has played since he made 36 saves in a 3-2 victory over the Flyers in Game 4. The German netminder also appeared in Game 2 of the series, replacing Varlamov and stopping 20 of 21 shots in an overtime loss.
Varlamov allowed five goals on 31 shots in New York's double-overtime defeat against Philadelphia in Game 6.
