Goalies

The goalie position is set for Detroit.  Veteran Thomas Greiss will share goaltending duties with recently acquired Alex Nedeljkovic.

After an unlucky start to the season, Greiss had a terrific second half and will be looked upon as a veteran presence in goal.

Rookie of the Year finalist Nedeljkovic will share goaltending duties with Greiss.  After the trade with Carolina landed Nedeljkovic, Detroit seems to have their #1 goalie of the near future.

Detroit re-signed Calvin Pickard to act as insurance for the top pair.  He will play in Grand Rapids (AHL) in case of injury to Greiss or Nedeljkovic.
