Ottawa Senators forward Ridly Greig drew the first suspension of the NHL’s 2021-22 season on Monday.

The league suspended him for one preseason game and one regular-season contest for cross-checking Jets forward Pierre-Luc Dubois midway through the second period of Ottawa’s 3-2 overtime win in Winnipeg in a preseason contest on Sunday.

Greig was issued a five-minute penalty for the cross check and received a 10-minute game misconduct after delivering a two-handed blow to Dubois’ face.

Greig, 19, was Ottawa’s first-round pick (28th overall) in the 2020 NHL draft. He posted 32 points (10 goals, 22 assists) in 21 games with Canada’s Western Hockey League’s Brandon Wheat Kings last season.
