Greer missed Florida's Game 4 loss due to an undisclosed injury but will return to the lineup for Game 5 on Wednesday. The 28-year-old is expected to replace Nico Sturm on Florida's 4th line and has two goals and three points in 11 games played throughout the playoffs.
Greer is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Nico Sturm will play for the first time since Game 2 vs. Toronto to replace Greer on the Panthers' fourth line.
Greer has appeared in Florida's previous three playoff games but will head to the press box after being replaced by Mackie Samoskevich for Game 2 on Wednesday. Greer enjoyed his best offensive season in 2024-25, with six goals and 17 points in 81 games played, but will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday.
Mackie Samoskevich will be a healthy scratch for Game 4 on Monday, allowing Greer to enter Florida's lineup for his first career playoff game. The 28-year-old Greer recorded 17 points (6G / 11A), 130 penalty minutes, and 222 hits in 81 games this season.
Florida added some grit on Monday as it signed A.J. Greer to a two-year contract worth $1.7 million ($850K AAV). The 27-year-old left-winger tied his career high in points (12) in 2023-24 with Calgary, picking up six goals, 12 points, and 35 PIMs in 59 games played.
Greer will take a seat on Friday as the Flames look to get some fresh legs into their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Dryden Hunt will draw into the lineup in his place.
Greer suffered an ankle injury in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, exiting the game after playing only 5:34 time-on-ice. Greer has 10 points (6G / 4A) in 47 games this season while most recently playing on a line with Cole Schwindt and Adam Klapka.
Greer is expected to skate alongside Dillon Dube and Yegor Sharangovich on the Flames' fourth line in Tuesday's game in Montreal. Greer has two goals and two assists in 13 games with the Flames this season.
Greer has one assist, six SOG, and four PIMs in six games played so far this season but will be a healthy scratch Tuesday as Calgary takes on the New York Rangers. The 26-year-old left-winger is in his seventh NHL season after he was claimed off waivers from Boston on October 9th, 2023. Greer will be replaced by Dryden Hunt Tuesday, who is making his Calgary debut.
Greer played his first full NHL season last year, tallying 12 points (5G / 7A) and 114 PIM in 61 games for the Bruins. The former 39th overall pick of the Colorado Avalanche in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft will likely serve as a depth forward this season for the Flames.
Greer was suspended for one game for cross-checking Montreal's Mike Hoffman but will return to the Bruins' lineup Tuesday vs. Nashville. The 26-year-old has five goals, six assists, 54 SOG, 85 PIMs and a +9 plus/minus through 53 games played prior to his suspension.
