Tuesday Trivia - 9/11/2012
Tuesday Trivia is a weekly feature of the Daily Chomp. Answer this week's question, then check back next week for a new question and prize.
The role of backup goaltender can be as tough of job as they come in the NHL. At any moment, their number can be called, requiring a high level of play after coming in cold off the bench. Assuming that backup role in 2011-12, Thomas Greiss played 19 games collecting 9 wins for the Sharks. Some of Greiss' relief efforts were quite stellar, notably a 29 save performance against Pittsburgh on November 3 to get a shootout victory. Greiss also showed off some late game heroics later in the season when he won the first game in Sharks history by a goalie who entered the game in the third period or later when trailing.
TRIVIA: Against which opponent did Thomas Greiss collect the first win in Sharks history by a goaltender who entered the game in the third period or later while trailing?
