Senators F Ridly Greig Suspended 2 Games for Roughing
NHL Player Safety said Ridly Greig delivered two punches, including a forceful uppercut, in Ottawa’s playoff loss.
On Monday, May 4, the NHL suspended Ottawa Senators forward Ridly Greig for two games for roughing Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Sean Walker during the first-round playoffs.
During the second period of Game 4, Greig delivered two punches to Walker, including a 'forceful gloved upper cut,' NHL Player Safety said in its suspension video.
Following Ottawa's 4-2 loss on April 25, Carolina completed a 4-0 series sweep that eliminated the Senators from the opening-round playoffs.
Because the Senators were eliminated from the playoffs, Greig will serve the two-game suspension at the start of next season.
Greig told reporters Walker did nothing to provoke the punch, stating, 'I've got to do a better job of controlling my emotions.
