Ridly Greig's Peak Performance: A Timely Surge as Playoffs Loom for the Ottawa Senators

Ridly Greig, the 23-year-old center for the Ottawa Senators, is currently showcasing a surge in performance at a crucial juncture in the 2025-26 NHL season. Greig's recent performance indicates that he is finding his stride, making a significant impact for the Senators.

Over his last eight games, Greig has tallied three goals and six assists, demonstrating an elevated scoring pace. This offensive burst has coincided with his consistent presence in the team's top-six forward group, solidifying his role as a key contributor. Additionally, he has been featured on the second power-play unit, further underscoring the team's confidence in his abilities, although he hasn't recorded a power-play point since October.

As of January 29, 2026, Greig has accumulated nine goals and 25 points through 48 games this season. His offensive contributions are complemented by 86 shots on net, 61 hits, and a plus-9 rating, highlighting his well-rounded game. Greig's efforts have not gone unnoticed, with Head Coach praising his adaptability and consistent play. "[He] plays the game the right way... he does the little things really well... he's strong in battles... he's not scared to take it around the net, around the greasy areas, and he's really smart with the puck," said Sens Coach.

Greig's overall NHL career spans four seasons, all with the Ottawa Senators. In 218 games, he has recorded 37 goals and 57 assists, totaling 94 points, accompanied by a plus-9 rating.

While Greig has seen an upswing in his point production, earlier in the season he had a minus-13 rating, a notable shift from his plus-10 rating last season. However, in his last seven games, Greig has recorded a plus-minus of +8. This season, in 48 games, Greig has 25 points, 86 shots on net, 61 hits and 61 penalty minutes.

Greig's ability to maintain this elevated level of play will be critical for the Senators as they navigate the remainder of the season. His consistent performance and adaptability make him a valuable asset.
