Greig scored a empty-net goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
Greig has three goals and an assist during his four-game point streak. He was also tabbed to fill the second-line spot vacated by Josh Norris (undisclosed), who is week-to-week. Both Greig and third-line center Shane Pinto saw bumps in ice time, and each of them scored in this contest. They'll both be interesting short-term options for fantasy managers. For the season, Greig is at nine goals, 17 points, 69 shots on net, 91 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 50 appearances.

Senators' Ridly Greig: Inks four-year extension
Rotowire
Greig agreed to terms on a four-year, $13 million contract extension with Ottawa on Friday.
Greig was scheduled to be one of 12 restricted free agents for the Senators this offseason but instead has committed to the team on an extended bridge deal that will keep him under contract through 2028-29. The 22-year-old forward will probably never be an offensive powerhouse, but he should provide between 20-30 points annually, making him a solid depth scoring option.

Rotowire
Greig scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Stars.
Greig was listed on the top line and saw 18:50 of ice time in the contest. The Senators appear to be trying to share significant ice time across seven forwards -- which has been forced because Greig has scored in three straight games and is due more minutes. The 22-year-old is up to six goals, 12 points, 49 shots on net, 55 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 34 appearances.

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.
