Greer was suspended three games for boarding Calgary Flames forward Connor Zary on Friday night, NHL player safety announced on Sunday.

The incident happened midway through the third period when Greer shoved Zary head-first into the boards. Zary remained down on the ice while being treated by Flames training staff, but was able to skate off under his own power.

Greer received a five-minute major penalty and game misconduct for the hit.

“It is important to note that Greer is in control of this play at all times,” the league said in a video explanation. “First, he hooks Zary enough to cause him to lose his balance slightly, then as Zary regains his balance, and at a dangerous distance from the boards, Greer delivers a shove to the upper-back of Zary that knocks him to the ice and causes an impact with the wall sufficient for supplemental discipline.”

Zary is listed as day-to-day.

Greer has previously been suspended once by the NHL Department of Player Safety for cross-checking in 2023.
