Buffalo left wing Jordan Greenway played the opposite of many forwards on the team, increasing his offensive production last season compared to the year before. Unlike normally high-performing players, including Tage Thompson, Jeff Skinner and Alex Tuch, who benefited from fewer goals and assists, Greenway improved his stats.

No. 12’s numbers for 2023-24 were 10 goals, 18 assists and 28 total points. It was a marked improvement from his first season with the Sabres, where he had a 4-0-4 record. To be fair, Greenway only appeared in 17 contests that year, so it’s no surprise that he produced so poorly.

Greenway’s point total last year was roughly comparable to his stats with the Minnesota Wild, where he had a 32-point season, a 28-point year, a 27-point campaign, and a 24-point season, respectively. points. He wasn’t one of the Sabres’ top scorers, but he had his moments.

On December 21, 2023, Greenway was coming off a nine-game absence due to injury. Scoreless early in the first period and the KeyBank Center filled with obnoxious Leafs fans, Greenway took the puck from Connor Clifton and beat Toronto goaltender Ilya Samsonov with a long wrist shot to make it 1-0 for the Sabres.

On another occasion, on February 19, 2024, also early in a game with nothing on the board, Casey Mittelstadt forced a turnover and passed the puck to Dylan Cozens, who set up Greenway. Greenway then beat Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson to give Buffalo a 1-0 lead.

Jordan Greenway has the ability to score goals, it’s just a shame he hasn’t scored more. Fans would love to see his 20 or 25 goal season this coming year. No.12 has the skills, let’s see if he can make the most of future scoring opportunities.
