ST. LOUIS — Wild winger Jordan Greenway made his NHL debut on March 27, 2018. A few weeks after that, he was playing in a playoff series against the rival Winnipeg Jets. As a wide-eyed, 21-year-old kid, nonetheless.
“It was definitely intimidating at first,” Greenway said. “You adjust quickly. The nerves kind of go away with all the adrenaline and everything like that. Obviously it’s a lot different now.”
That’s an understatement. Now a 25-year-old man, Greenway is an established player in the NHL, and a big reason the Wild are up 2-1 in their first-round series with the St. Louis Blues.
