Pots two tallies in loss Greig scored two goals in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche.

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.

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.

Placed on IR Greig (lower body) was put on injured reserve Thursday, per CapFriendly.

The 21-year-old has two goals and seven points in nine contests this season.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
