Pots two tallies in loss Greig scored two goals in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche.
Impact The 2020 first-round pick has moved onto Ottawa's top line at even strength between Brady Tkachuk and Claude Giroux and is taking full advantage. Tuesday's performance was the first multi-goal game of his brief career, and Greig has two goals and five points in the last four games. The 21-year-old didn't see any power-play time Tuesday, however, and when Josh Norris (upper body) returns, he's likely to bump Greig back down the depth chart.

Dishes pair of helpers Greig produced two assists and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.
Impact Greig assisted on first-period tallies by Jacob Bernard-Docker and Dominik Kubalik. This was Greig's second multi-point effort of the season, and it followed a stretch where he managed just one assist over seven games. The 21-year-old center is at 12 points, 39 shots on net, 40 hits, 25 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 26 contests overall.

Lights lamp Thursday Greig scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM, logged three hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Avalanche.
Impact Greig's first-period marker briefly gave the Senators a 2-1 lead. He's scored twice over the last three games, but he has just three points through nine outings since recovering from a lower-body injury. The center is at four goals, 10 points, 27 shots, 28 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 18 appearances, mainly filling a third-line role.

First goal since return Greig scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Impact Greig's first-period marker briefly gave the Senators a 2-1 lead. It was his first goal and second point over seven games since he returned from a long-term lower-body injury that cost him most of November. The 21-year-old has returned to his usual third-line role. He's matched his point total from last season with nine points through 16 outings in 2023-24. Greig also has 25 shots on net, 25 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-8 rating as a solid secondary scorer for the Senators.

Removed from LTIR Greig (lower body) was activated from long-term injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.
Impact It appears as though Greig will be available for Tuesday's contest against the Rangers following a 10-game absence. He has produced two goals, five assists, 18 shots on net and 15 hits in nine appearances this season. Look for him to occupy a middle-six role in his return to action.

Poised to return Tuesday Greig (lower body) is slated to play versus the Rangers on Tuesday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Impact Greig has been out of action for the required 10 games after being designated for long-term injured reserve and will need to be activated before puck drop. Prior to getting hurt, the 21-year-old center was rolling offensively with seven points in nine games while averaging 14:17 of ice time. With Greig back in action, the Senators will likely return to a 12/6 lineup, which figures to see Jacob Bernard-Docker or Erik Brannstrom serving as a healthy scratch.
DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Shifts to LTIR Greig (lower body) has been moved from injured reserve to long-term injured reserve, CapFriendly reports.
Impact Greig hasn't played since Nov. 2, so the move is presumably retroactive to that date. If that's the case, then he can be activated as early as Dec. 5 versus the Rangers. Greig has two goals and seven points in nine contests this season.
NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Placed on IR Greig (lower body) was put on injured reserve Thursday, per CapFriendly.
Impact The move is presumably retroactive to last Thursday, which is when Greig sustained the injury. That would make him eligible to be activated ahead of Saturday's contest versus Calgary, but that probably won't happen. Coach D.J. Smith said Tuesday that Greig is still weeks away from returning. The 21-year-old has two goals and seven points in nine contests this season.
NOVEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Still weeks away Greig (lower body) is still weeks away from being ready to return to the lineup, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Impact Coach D.J. Smith said Tuesday that Greig could be out for "north of two weeks." The 21-year-old Greig was off to a strong start this season with two goals, seven points, 19 shots on net and 15 hits in nine appearances. Rourke Chartier and Roby Jarventie have been taking turns centering Ottawa's third line during Greig's absence.
NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Likely to miss games 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 duri...
Impact 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.
NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Exits Thursday's contest Greig left Thursday's game against LA after suffering a lower-body injury in the first period. He won't return to the contest.
Impact Greig entered Thursday's action with two goals and seven points in eight contests this season. The 21-year-old has been serving in a middle-six role and as a member of the second power-play unit. If he can't play Saturday versus Tampa Bay, then Rourke Chartier might get increased responsibilities.

Making most of opportunity Greig scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-2 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.
Impact 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.

Assists in three straight games Greig recorded an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Capitals.
Impact Greig picked up a helper for the third straight game. The 21-year-old has seen middle-six usage so far, though the season debut of Josh Norris figures to send Greig to a third-line role with limited power-play usage in the near future. Greig has added five shots on goal, four hits and a plus-4 rating over four contests.

Chips in with helper Greig ended up with an assist in Sunday's 5-2 home victory against the Lightning.
Impact Greig also contributed with a plus-2 rating, two shots on goal, a blocked shots and two hits in his 17:38 of ice time. The team's first-round pick in 2020 ended up winning six of 14 faceoff opportunities, too. The 21-year-old has back-to-back games with an assist while posting a plus-3 rating.

Cleared to play Saturday Greig (sternum) has been cleared to play Saturday against Toronto, Ian Mendes of The Athletic reports.
Impact Greig was originally ruled out for the remainder of the season when he was injured versus Tampa Bay on March 23. But he has made a great recovery and was out only a week. Greig has a goal and five assists in 16 games.

May still return to action Greig (chest), who was originally ruled out for the season, could still play this year, though hasn't been officially cleared as of Wednesday, Ian Mendes of The Athletic reports.
Impact 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.

Done for season Greig will be lost for the remainder of the season with a sternum injury, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Impact Greig was the Senators' first round pick -- 28th overall -- in 2020, and he made his NHL debut this season, scoring once and adding five assists in 16 games. Look for the 20-year-old center to start the 2023-24 season with the big club out of training camp.
MARCH 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Returned to AHL Greig was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Saturday.
Impact The 20-year-old first round pick in 2020 --28th overall -- made his NHL debut a month ago and had a goal and three assists in 11 games, but needs more playing time in the minors, as he was averaging only 13:29 of playing time with the Senators. Greig has 12 goals and 23 points in 28 games with Belleville this season, and he'll see plenty of playing time, as well as lots of power play time in the AHL.
