A.J. Greer - NHL News & Rumors

Set to play Friday Greer (upper body) is set to return to the lineup Friday versus the Golden Knights, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact Greer battled the upper-body injury during preseason, but he's good to go for the Ducks' season opener. He'll get a golden assignment Friday, playing alongside Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier on the top line at even strength. It's unclear if he'll stick in that spot, but he'll have some extra appeal as long as he's commanding top-six usage. Greer broke out to the tune of 32 points in 78 regular-season games with the Panthers last year, but he also shot 16.3 percent, which raises the risk of regression.

Takes contact Greer (upper body) took contact during Wednesday's practice, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Impact Greer might be an option for Friday's game in Vegas, but that hasn't been confirmed. If he does play, then he'll likely serve in a middle-six capacity. Frank Vatrano will probably serve as a healthy scratch if Greer ends up being available versus the Golden Knights.

Dealing with upper-body injury Greer is day-to-day because of an upper-body injury, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune on Saturday.

Impact It remains to be seen if this will change how Greer is handled in the preseason, but the Ducks don't have any reason to push him for the sake of exhibition play. He had 17 goals, 32 points, 113 PIM and 203 hits in 78 regular-season appearances with Florida in 2025-26. Greer inked a four-year, $17 million contract with Anaheim over the summer. He'll likely serve in a middle-six capacity this season.

Inks four-year deal with Anaheim Greer signed a four-year, $17 million contract with the Ducks on Tuesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Greer will get a nice payday after a career year of 17 goals and 15 assists over 78 games with the Panthers in 2025-26. The 29-year-old forward has also topped the 100-PIM mark in three of the last four years and the 200-hit mark in two consecutive seasons. Expect Greer to be a fixture in the bottom six for the Ducks, though he may struggle to replicate his offense from last year.

Pots power-play goal Greer scored a power-play goal and added four hits in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Greer took advantage of a larger opportunity late in the season, earning four goals and four assists over his last nine outings. His tally Wednesday was just the second power-play point of his career. The winger was excellent in a depth role with 17 goals, 15 assists, 104 shots on net, 203 hits and 113 PIM across 78 appearances, which should help him easily find work if the Panthers let him walk in free agency.

One of each Saturday Greer scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Greer has gone from a fourth-line regular to one of the few healthy forwards who started the year in the NHL. The 29-year-old was on the top line Saturday and delivered his second multi-point outing in the last five games. He's enjoyed a career year of 16 goals, 31 points, 102 shots on net, 196 hits, 113 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 76 appearances. The extra opportunity comes at a good time for Greer, who is slated to be an unrestricted free agent this summer and has shown he can score more when given a chance.

Two-point effort Saturday Greer produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 9-4 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact The 29-year-old winger got Florida on the board midway through the first period after his team had already fallen into a 2-0 hole, before things completely fell apart for the Panthers in the second. Greer has put together career-best offensive numbers in 2025-26, delivering 15 goals and 28 points in 72 contests with 187 hits, 111 PIM, 94 shots on net and a plus-9 rating.

Nets first goal since return Greer tallied a goal and placed three shots on net in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Ottawa.

Impact Greer picked up his first goal since returning from his three-game suspension for his boarding penalty against Calgary's Connor Zary. Greer's tally was the fourth of the opening period for the Panthers and would be the first of two goals the team would score in a 34-second span. Overall, he is up to 14 goals, 25 points, 91 shots on net, 183 hits and 25 blocked shots across 70 games this season. Greer is having the best offensive campaign of his NHL career and holds decent fantasy value in deep leagues that count banger stats.
