What Happened
Head coach Travis Green told reporters on Friday that Ridly Greig is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's matchup against the Utah Mammoth. The 24-year-old forward is managing a lower-body injury and is currently classified as day-to-day. Greig has already missed Wednesday's 2-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres after being a late scratch. He also did not participate in Tuesday's practice session.
Key Details
- Greig is dealing with a lower-body injury and is day-to-day.
- The forward has two goals and two assists in 14 games this season.
- He missed Wednesday's 2-1 win against the Buffalo Sabres.
- Greig was a late scratch for Wednesday after being projected to play.
- His next potential game is Tuesday against the Washington Capitals.
What It Means
Losing a forward to a lower-body issue affects Ottawa's depth during a midweek stretch. While the injury is listed as day-to-day, missing another game against Utah extends his absence to at least two contests. The Senators will need to adjust their forward lines for Saturday before potentially welcoming Greig back for the home game against Washington.
What's Next
Greig's availability will likely be confirmed closer to puck drop on Saturday. If he remains out, his next opportunity to play is Tuesday's home game against the Washington Capitals.
