The Maple Leafs (optional) and Ottawa Senators skated at Scotiabank Arena on Tuesday.

Ridly Greig missed the Senators morning skate, but Ottawa head coach Travis Green confirmed the feisty forward will be available to suit up in Game 2.

Greig played a prominent role in Sunday's series-opening game against the Leafs. He scored a goal, took a cross-checking penalty on John Tavares and crashed into Anthony Stolarz while driving the net.

"He does a good job of trying to get under the opposing team's skin," said Senators centre Shane Pinto. "That’s just the game he brings. It’s fun to be a part of. It’s fun to play with him and I’m sure it’s not going to stop."

"Loves winning," said Green. "Plays the right way. Plays hard. Everything you want in a hockey player. He doesn’t say a lot. He’s easy to coach and plays to win."

Greig has not spoken to the media since making his playoff debut on Sunday, but is dominating discussion around the Battle of Ontario nonetheless.

"For a young player, he plays a very mature game," said veteran winger Claude Giroux. "Plays hard, plays the right way all the time. He’s better offensively than people think. You just know every game what you’re going to get from him."

Defenceman Nick Jensen also missed Ottawa's skate, but is also expected to play on Tuesday, per Green.
