The Senators have recalled forward Ridly Greig from Belleville (AHL).

Greig was the No.28 overall pick in 2020 and is third on Belleville with 23 points (12G / 11A) in 28 AHL games. The Senators have scored just eight goals in their last five games, so they're calling Greig up for an offensive spark.

Lars Eller will draw back into the Capitals lineup Tuesday vs. Minnesota.

Eller was a healthy scratch for the Capitals' previous game but will draw back into the lineup after it was announced Nic Dowd would miss some time with a lower-body injury. Eller has seven goals, eight assists, 71 SOG, 30 PIMs and a +4 plus/minus through 44 games with Washington so far this season.

It has been a horrific first half of the season for the 34-year-old veteran, who is 7-13-3, with a 3.26 GAA and .895 SV%. He will face the New Jersey Devils, who are on fire yet again with their current four-game winning streak after a 5-2 win over Los Angeles last game.
