Greig scored a empty-net goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
Greig has three goals and an assist during his four-game point streak. He was also tabbed to fill the second-line spot vacated by Josh Norris (undisclosed), who is week-to-week. Both Greig and third-line center Shane Pinto saw bumps in ice time, and each of them scored in this contest. They'll both be interesting short-term options for fantasy managers. For the season, Greig is at nine goals, 17 points, 69 shots on net, 91 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 50 appearances.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Inks four-year extension
Rotowire
Greig agreed to terms on a four-year, $13 million contract extension with Ottawa on Friday.

The 22-year-old forward will probably never be an offensive powerhouse, but he should provide between 20-30 points annually, making him a solid depth scoring option.
