Senators' Ridly Greig: Suiting up Tuesday
Rotowire
Greig (upper body) will be in action versus Utah on Tuesday, per NHL.com.

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.
