Fresno, Calif. - The Fresno Falcons announced today that goaltender Thomas Greiss has been recalled by the National Hockey League's San Jose Sharks. Greiss will serve as the Sharks back-up goaltender tomorrow night when the Sharks host the Philadelphia Flyers.
Greiss was assigned to the Falcons on Tuesday after starting this season with the American Hockey League's Worcester Sharks. In his Fresno debut on Wednesday, Greiss turned aside 27 shots in the Falcons 3-1 win over Utah.
