As his thumbs nudge the buttons on a controller, Jordan Greenway tracks his avatar. He watches the larger of two flat screens propped on a TV stand in the living room in his three-bedroom, two-story St. Paul, Minn., apartment.
He's playing Fortnite, an online video game. When he stops the action, the soundtrack is still serenading the room.
An iPad sitting on the coffee table shows "the best player in the world," according to Greenway, maneuvering through the game.
"I just watch when I'm bored," he said. "It's like a TV show. I just watch other people do what I'm about to do."
At Greenway's job _ he's a rookie winger for the Wild _ other people watch what he's about to do.
At home, he spends most of his downtime between practices and games on a constant loop of Xbox, cherry juice and BiteSquad deliveries.
"He doesn't have too much on his plate," said forward Luke Kunin, who was recalled from the minors in December and moved in with Greenway. "He's pretty relaxed, a laid-back kind of guy."
It's a different routine for Greenway after attending Boston University the previous three years, but the adjustment has been seamless _ a smooth transition helped along by the Wild.
"There's obviously been a lot of ups and downs," said Greenway, who is seventh among NHL rookies with nine goals. "But it's been great."
