Ottawa Senators general manager Pierre Dorion announced Monday that forward Josh Norris will undergo shoulder surgery and will miss the remainder of the 2022-23 regular season. 

Norris, 23, had just returned from a shoulder injury that held him out of the lineup since October. He logged 15:51 of ice time and scored his first goal since returning to the Sens roster in Saturday’s 5-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. He finishes the season with two goals and three points in eight games. 

Last season, Norris registered career highs across all departments, registering 35 goals and 20 assists for 55 points in 66 games. That breakout performance earned Norris a contract extension. In the off-season, he signed an eight-year, $63 million contract that carries an average annual value of $7.95 million through the 2029-30 regular season. Norris is currently in year one of the contract.  

Additionally, the Senators have recalled forward Ridly Greig from their American Hockey League affiliate. Greig is a 2020 first-round draft pick who has 12 goals and 23 points in 28 games this season in the AHL. He spent five seasons with the Brandon Wheat Kings of the Western Hockey League. In 2021-22, Greig captained the Wheat Kings and had a career-high 63 points in 39 games. That same year, he won a gold medal at the IIHF World Junior Championship with Team Canada, posting six points in five games. Grieg has yet to make his NHL debut, but that could change quickly as he was on a practice line with Claude Giroux and Alex DeBrincat.
