Ridly Greig

Ridly Greig is a Canadian centre who plays for the Ottawa Senators, the club that drafted Greig 28th overall in 2020. Greig passed 100 career points and 200 games as an agitating middle-six forward, and is known well beyond Ottawa for an empty-net goal scored with a slapshot against Toronto on 10 February 2024, which drew a cross-check to the face from Morgan Rielly and a five-game suspension for the Maple Leafs defenceman. Greig was himself suspended for the first two games of 2026-27 for roughing Carolina's Sean Walker during Ottawa's first-round exit.
