Overview
- Greig received a two-game regular-season suspension Monday, and he will serve it at the start of 2026–27 because Ottawa has been eliminated.
- In Game 4 on April 25, during a melee after a heavy hit on Alexander Nikishin, Greig skated in and delivered two upper-cut punches to Sean Walker while Walker was tied up by Warren Foegele.
- Player Safety called the act roughing in its video, saying Greig threw two sucker punches at a defenseless opponent, and it noted his prior suspension history.
- The punch drew on-air outrage from analysts, with Hockey Night in Canada’s Kelly Hrudey calling the act gutless.
- The hearing was held by Zoom, a process that caps potential suspensions at five games.
