The Ottawa Senators prospect registered eight points (2G-6A) and two game-winning goals in four appearances this past week, helping the Wheat Kings to a quartet of road victories over a span of five days.
The product of Lethbridge, Alta. started his week with a two-point effort Tuesday, February 15, scoring the overtime winner in a 3-2 Wheat Kings victory over the Swift Current Broncos.
Greig added an assist, also winning 17 of 23 faceoffs in Brandon's 4-1 victory at Medicine Hat Wednesday, February 16.
He then chipped in with three helpers as the Wheat Kings upended his hometown Lethbridge Hurricanes 5-2 two nights later.
