Liam Greentree is keeping some serious company these days. The New York Rangers forward prospect reached 300 points in the Ontario Hockey League, joining the likes of John Tavares, Mitch Marner, Nick Suzuki, and Jason Robertson as one of only 21 players to do so in the past 20 years.
The Windsor Spitfires captain had a goal and two assists Friday in a 5-2 win over the Sudbury Wolves to surpass 300 career points in the OHL. He reached the milestone with a second-period power-play goal, and then added a helper three minutes later on Windsor's next goal. His third point of the night was a a power-play assist in the third period.
All this came one night after Greentree was assessed a 10-minute misconduct penalty for abuse of the officials midway through the third period of a 5-4 shootout loss to the North Bay Battalion. The 20 year-old is fourth on Windsor with 48 points this season and second with 24 goals.

He now has 302 points (134 goals, 168 points) in 225 OHL games, all with Windsor. Last season, playing on a line with dynamic Washington Capitals prospect Ilya Protas, Greentree established career highs with 49 goals, 70 assists, 119 points, 12 power-play goals, and five game-winners in 64 games.
The Rangers acquired Greentree from the Los Angeles Kings as the key return in the Artemi Panarin trade Wednesday. He's a big (6-foot-3, 216 pounds) forward was a first-round pick by the Kings in the 2024 NHL Draft.
"Greentree has an NHL ready shot selection and has shown that he can score from anywhere on the ice. He knows exactly where his teammates are and has some strong passing skills," noted Jess Rubenstein from The Prospect Park . "For a power forward, his creativity is what is going to stand out as he can create scoring opportunities out of any situation. He is not afraid to attack the net, nor does he lose many puck battles along the boards."
Rubenstein believes fair NHL comparables in the NHL are Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn and Robertson, their talented high-scoring wing.

"Greentree is like them because he does not go looking for the big hits, but uses his size to protect the puck," he explained.
Now, Greentree joined Robertson as one of only seven OHL players with 300 points since 2025-16. He's 26 points from equaling Suzuki, who sits atop this particular list.
