Blues' Thomas Greiss: Takes loss in relief appearance
Rotowire
Greiss allowed three goals on 11 shots in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to the Wild.
Greiss came into the game after Jordan Binnington was ejected following a violent outburst when the Wild scored their fifth goal. The Blues were able to cover that damage, which left an ineffective Greiss with his third loss in his last five outings. The 37-year-old has had a poor season with a 7-9-0 record, a 3.50 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 19 appearances.

Blues' Thomas Greiss: No help in loss
Rotowire
Greiss stopped 20 of 25 shots in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Coyotes.
Greiss kept the Coyotes off the board for over 30 minutes, but Nick Schmaltz posted a natural hat trick in 9:18 of game time. It was downhill from there, as the Coyotes scored twice more in the third period to send Greiss to his second loss in three outings. He's down to 5-7-0 with a 3.22 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 15 contests this season. Both Greiss and Jordan Binnington have been inconsistent lately, making it tough to trust either of them in fantasy in a matchup versus the Avalanche on Saturday.

Rotowire
Greiss gave up four goals on 32 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.

Greiss slipped to 4-5-0 with a 3.55 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 11 contests this season.
