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.

PENALTY SHOTS:
