Greer (rest) will return to the lineup for Game 1 in Tampa Bay, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greer has been solid on the fourth line while appearing in 81 regular-season games. He set career-high marks in hits (222), PIM (130), points (17), shots on goal (130) and blocked shots (30) while averaging 9:36 of ice time.

Greer (rest) won't play versus the Lightning on Tuesday, Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greer finished the regular season with career highs in points (17), hits (222), PIM (130), shots on goal (86) and games played (81). He's been a fourth-line fixture all season, so he should be back in the lineup for Game 1 of the playoffs.

Greer's point drought reached 14 games in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Greer has added just 14 shots on net in that span, but he's still making an impact. The winger had 39 hits and 34 PIM during the drought, which helps him stay in the lineup as an enforcer. The Panthers are also dealing with some injuries and other players that need rest before the playoffs, so expect Greer to remain in the lineup. The 28-year-old has had a career year with 17 points, 218 hits, 130 PIM and 85 shots on net across 80 games, all of which are career highs.

Greer scored a goal on two shots, logged six hits and added five PIM in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Greer opened the scoring at 7:20 of the first period. He also fought Josh Dunne in the third, and while Greer briefly went to the locker room for repairs, he was able to finish the contest. The 28-year-old enforcer snapped his 13-game goal drought Saturday and has now matched his career high with six goals, while adding a personal-best 16 points with 175 hits, 94 PIM and 67 shots on net through 64 appearances.

Greer posted an assist, three hits and five PIM in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Greer set the tone by fighting Corey Perry at 2:52 of this 2024 Stanley Cup Finals rematch. While Greer wasn't with the Panthers last season, he likely has no trouble taking out some frustration on the Oilers after spending 2023-24 with the Flames. Greer is up to a career-high 14 points with 63 shots on net, 164 hits, 85 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 60 appearances as a fixture on the Panthers' fourth line. He'll set a new career high in games played with two more outings.

Greer produced an assist and a team-leading six hits in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Greer has four points and 19 hits over his last six outings. The 28-year-old winger remains in a fourth-line role, so his recent success on offense is unlikely to last. Greer has already secured a career year with 13 points over 53 appearances, and he's added 58 shots on net, 78 PIM, 144 hits and a plus-3 rating.

Greer scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, logged three hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

This was Greer's first multi-point effort of the campaign. It was nearly a two-goal game, but he had to settle for an assist to Sam Bennett on the Panthers' second goal before scoring one of his own in the second period. The 28-year-old Greer has matched his career-high point total from each of the last two years with 12 points over 50 appearances this season. He's added 57 shots on net, 78 PIM and 131 hits while filling a fourth-line role throughout 2024-25.

Greer provided an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

The helper ended his 12-game point drought. Greer has seen limited minutes in a fourth-line role, and that has largely kept him from making an impact on offense this season. He's at 10 points -- two shy of his career high -- while adding 54 shots on net, 78 PIM and 125 hits through 48 appearances.

Greer scored a shorthanded goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Oddly, the Panthers scored two shorthanded goals in the second period, and Greer's tally, his fourth of the season, gave the Panthers a 2-1 lead. This was Greer's first goal since Nov. 29, and when factoring in the lack of production and his bottom-six role, Greer shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy appeal going forward.

Greer scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Greer snapped a four-game slump with the third-period tally, which was the game-winner. The 27-year-old plays a fourth-line role, making it unsurprising when he has extended offensive droughts. He's at three goals, four assists, 30 shots on net, 36 PIM and 64 hits through 24 contests this season.
