Stock up

Thomas Greiss: Greiss began last week as the backup to Calvin Pickard, but was back in the starter’s role midway through the first period Tuesday. Greiss played his best game of the season in Sunday’s victory over the Bolts, capping his best week. He went 1-1-1 in four appearances, posting a 1.86 goals-against average and .941 save percentage. That’s the Greiss the Wings hoped they were getting when they signed him in the offseason for two years, $7.2 million — not the guy who has been on the downside of the stock watch multiple times.

Adam Erne: He matched his career high in goals Thursday and broke it Saturday when he netted his eighth of the season. He collected his fifth assist of the season on Sunday. Erne always works hard, and he, Luke Glendening and Darren Helm have developed terrific chemistry, forming one of the team’s most effective lines. To see Erne so confident with the puck — hanging onto it, making plays, taking it to the net — is a nice development, and is likely to lead to a contract extension.

Vladislav Namestnikov: Like Erne, Namestnikov had a good outing against his former team. He assisted on two goals Sunday, including what ended up being the game-winner. Namestnikov does a bit of everything, playing center and wing, and kills penalties. This was a good week for him, and hopefully a sign more production is coming.
