The New York Islanders have agreed to terms on a three-year contract extension with goaltender Thomas Greiss, the team announced Monday.
Financial details are unknown at this time.
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, and has put himself 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.
