Greening scored his first goal of the year while skating 18:17 in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first goal since Dec. 29, 2014, when Greening was still a Senator, and that goal was his only point in 26 games last season. Once upon a time, Greening was a 37-point man, but his career fell on hard times in Ottawa. He has, however, been seeing solid ice time since being dealt to Toronto in the Dion Phaneuf trade, including his highest yet Thursday. He's been over 17 minutes, including heavy power-play time, in three of his four games as a Leaf and has provided points in the last two games, so clearly coach Mike Babcock has seen something he likes.
