New York Islanders Daily: Greiss and Seidenberg Join Team Germany

Two New York Islanders will be playing for Team Germany at the IIHF World Championship. Only three NHL players are on Team Germany.

In addition to Anders Lee, Brock Nelson and Calvin de Haan the New York Islanders will have two more representatives in the IIHF World Championship. Dennis Seidenberg and Thomas Greiss are joining Team Germany.

This will be Greiss’ second time playing in the tournament. Last year he posted a solid .904 save percentage and a 2.50 goals-against average going 3-1-0 in four games.

Germany is set to face off against the U.S. in their first game on May 5. It’s a 2:15 pm start on Friday so you might have to play hooky to catch the game. Greiss will be going up against two familiar faces in Brock Nelson and Anders Lee in that game.

Remember last year what happened between Brock Nelson and Thomas Greiss? Greiss gave him a little shove to the head.

Hopefully, things are a little more friendly this time around.
