Islanders complete 3-year extension with Greiss worth reported $10M
The New York Islanders have signed goaltender Thomas Greiss to a three-year contract extension, the team announced Monday.
Greiss will reportedly earn $10 million throughout the life of the deal, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun.
Since arriving in Brooklyn last season, Greiss has wrested the starter's role from Jaroslav Halak, who is currently earning his $4.5-million annual salary with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the American Hockey League.
Greiss, 31, sports a .926 save percentage in 66 appearances dating back to last season, which is tops among all regular contributors league-wide over that span.
He has 37 wins from 62 starts, including 14 of the club's 21 victories this season.
Greiss is working on a $1.5-million salary, with his performance putting him in line for a hefty raise in unrestricted free agency at the end of the year.
Halak still has one more season left on his current deal, while current backup J.F. Berube will be a restricted free agent in a few months.
