FIRSTS:

Thomas made his National Hockey League debut on Sunday, January 13, 2008, becoming the first San Jose goaltender other than Evgeni Nabokov to start a game in the 2007-08 regular season (Nabokov had started the first forty-three games). Greiss could have seen a more-favourable matchup, getting the second of back-to-back games, on the road against the defending Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks. Greiss acquitted himself well, getting the Sharks to overtime before falling, 4-3, on a Francois Beauchemin goal thirty-three seconds into the extra frame. Greiss stopped 25 of 29 shots in the defeat.
