Greig scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Utah.
Greig scored his first goal of the season in his return from a three-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 22-year-old has added one hit, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over three appearances in 2024-25. He'll likely play in a middle-six role at even strength, but Greig will have a slightly higher floor as long as he continues to see power-play time.

Rotowire
Greig (upper body) will be in action versus Utah on Tuesday, per NHL.com.
Greig returns following a three-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the 22-year-old center was pointless in his first two outings while registering just two blocks and a minus-2 rating despite averaging 2:24 of ice time with the man advantage. With Greig back, he should fill a bottom-six role in Tuesday's tilt.

Rotowire
Greig is under the weather and will be a game-time decision versus the Rangers on Monday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Likely to miss games
Rotowire
Greig, who sustained a lower-body injury in Thursday's 3-2 loss to LA, is regarded as doubtful for Ottawa's next few contests, coach D.J. Smith told Wayne Scanlan of Sportsnet during the postgame press conference.
That will put a pause on Greig's hot start to the campaign -- he entered Thursday's action with two goals and seven points through eight outings. Rourke Chartier might move up to the third line while Greig is unavailable. With Mark Kastelic (lower body) also expected to miss time as a result of an injury sustained Thursday, Ottawa will likely recall forwards from the AHL ahead of Saturday's match against Tampa Bay.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Making most of opportunity
Rotowire
Greig scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-2 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.
Greig's goal came on the power play in the first period when he tipped a Claude Giroux shot for a 1-0 lead. Shane Pinto's (suspension) absence has given Greig a chance to prove he belongs in the NHL. Greig has been making the most of that opportunity with points in six of his last seven games (two goals, five assists). And he a team-best plus-7 rating. We all keep waiting for the bubble to burst for Greig, but he simply keeps performing.

Greig was a full practice participant Wednesday, per Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, yet is still working his way back to 100 percent. The 20-year-old's potential return will likely be too little too late for the Senators to earn a playoff spot but should clear the way for him to make the Opening Night roster ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.
