Rotowire
Greig scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 2-1 shootout win over the Islanders.

Greig has moved around the lineup a fair amount early in the season, so it remains to be seen where he'll settle in for the long run.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Eligible to return from suspension
Rotowire
Greig has served his two-game suspension and is eligible to return ahead of Tuesday's road clash with Detroit.
Greig was given a two-game suspension by the NHL Department of Player Safety after he fired a gloved punch at the face of Carolina blueliner Sean Walker, who was already in a headlock from Warren Foegele. Prior to the incident, the 24-year-old Greig put together solid all-around totals in the 2025-26 regular season, where he posted 13 goals , 35 points, 129 shots on net, 96 hits and 52 blocked shots across 77 outings. He could potentially make his season debut Tuesday against the Red Wings, and if he does, he'll likely slot somewhere in the Senators' middle six to begin his 2026-27 campaign.
Greig was suspended for two 2026-27 regular-season games by the NHL Department of Player Safety on Monday for roughing Carolina's Sean Walker on April 25.
The incident occurred in Ottawa's season-ending Game 4 playoff loss to the Hurricanes. Greig had one assist in the series after collecting 13 goals, 35 points, 129 shots on net and 96 hits in 77 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Hit with hearing
Rotowire
Greig will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety for roughing Sean Walker during Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
The incident in question surrounds a post-whistle scrum in which Greig punched Walker while Walker was engaged with another player. The 23-year-old Greig was not penalized on the play, but the Department of Player Safety will take a look regardless. The Senators were eliminated with Saturday's loss, so if a suspension is handed down, Greig would have to serve it at the beginning of next season.
Greig scored a shorthanded goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Islanders.
The first-period shortie proved to be the game-winner, as it was all the offensive support Linus Ullmark would need. Greig has three multi-point efforts in the last six games, carrying him to a career-high 35 points in 75 contests. If the 23-year-old can score one more goal over the Senators' final two regular-season games, he would establish a new career high of 14 as well.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Pots goal in win Monday
Rotowire
Greig scored a goal in Monday's 2-0 win over the Canucks.
Greig broke the deadlock for Ottawa midway through the second period with a wrister, and that was his 10th goal of the season. The 23-year-old snapped a nine-game goalless skid with this tally, but with just 10 goals and 17 assists in 58 contests, he's not producing enough to be a reliable fantasy option in most formats -- even if he has a top-six role in the Senators' lineup.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Pots goal Thursday
Rotowire
Greig scored a goal and took three shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.

The 23-year-old has 23 points in 45 games so far this season, though he's racked up seven points (two goals, five helpers) over his last five outings. Greig should continue to see a decent amount of scoring opportunities as long as he remains in a top-six role.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Earns two points in win
Rotowire
Greig scored a goal, dished an assist, added three hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth.
Greig started the season with three points over four games, but he cooled off quickly. He's showing a little more offense again with three points across his last four outings, including his goal Sunday, which was his first since Oct. 13. The 23-year-old forward has a total of two goals, five helpers, 24 shots on net, 22 hits, 11 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 16 appearances. He's on a pace similar to the one that yielded 13 goals and 35 points over 78 regular-season contests in 2024-25, so it's a little discouraging that his offense isn't trending up in his third full campaign.
