Greaves made 29 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
The Blue Jackets took a 3-1 lead midway through the third period on a Zach Werenski tally, but Greaves couldn't deny a late rally by the home side, which got capped by Alex DeBrincat's winner 1:50 into the extra frame. Greaves has still gone seven straight starts without a regulation loss, posting a 4-0-3 record with a .901 save percentage over that stretch as he seizes control of the top job in the Columbus crease.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Drawing start Thursday
Rotowire
Greaves will serve as the starting netminder for Thursday's road game against Toronto, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Greaves has been strong over the past week and a half, going 3-0-1 with a 2.12 GAA and .923 save percentage over his last four starts. He'll face a tough test against the Maple Leafs on Thursday, as they rank fourth in the league with 3.50 goals per game this season.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Earns shootout win Monday
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 29 of 32 shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Canadiens. He also stopped two shots in the shootout.
Greaves came through in the shootout, and he's now on a run of five straight games without a defeat in regulation. Over that stretch, Greaves has gone 3-0-2 with a 2.66 GAA and a .901 save percentage. The 24-year-old has also posted a save percentage of at least .900 in three of his previous four outings. He seems to have gained a firm grip on the No. 1 role between the pipes over Elvis Merzlikins, who will start Tuesday against the Jets on the second leg of this back-to-back set.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: In goal Monday
Rotowire
Greaves will get the starting nod at home versus the Canadiens on Monday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Greaves will be making his fifth consecutive appearance in the crease for the Blue Jackets, seemingly cementing himself as the No. 1 option in Columbus. In his last four outings, the young netminder is sporting a 2.63 GAA and a 2-0-2 record. With Columbus heading into a back-to-back, Elvis Merzlikins will be between the pipes for Tuesday's road game versus the Jets.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Facing Rangers
Rotowire
Greaves will be between the home pipes versus the Rangers on Saturday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Greaves has taken over as the Blue Jackets' No. 1 goalie, as he will be making his fourth straight start. Greaves is 5-4-1 with a 3.00 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 10 starts this season. The Rangers are 28th in NHL scoring, generating 2.67 goals per game, but they're much better on the road, finding the back of the net 36 times over 10 games.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Earns second straight win
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 25 of 29 shots in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Oilers.
Greaves was beaten twice in the second period and twice more in the third, but he was able to hold off Edmonton's comeback attempt in the final moments of the game. The 24-year-old has started in each of the Blue Jackets' last three games and might be in a position to take over the No. 1 role from Elvis Merzlikins. Greaves has gone 2-0-1 with a 3.23 GAA and an .868 save percentage over those three games, however, so Merzlikins might still have a shot at seeing regular playing time if Greaves' numbers don't improve substantially in the coming games.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Starting Thursday
Rotowire
Greaves will be between the home pipes versus Edmonton on Thursday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Greaves will make his third consecutive start as he looks to take over the No. 1 role with the Blue Jackets. He is 4-4-1 with a 2.89 GAA and a .901 save percentage across nine starts this season. The Oilers are averaging 3.00 goals, tied for 17th in the NHL.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Sharp in shootout win
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 22 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Kraken.
Greaves played both halves of the Blue Jackets' back-to-back. He was torched for five goals on 24 shots Monday in Edmonton, but he fared much better against the Kraken's pedestrian offense, earning his first win in his last three starts. This was also his first instance of starting consecutive games this season. Greaves is up to 4-4-1 with a 2.89 GAA and a .901 save percentage over nine starts. The 24-year-old has been fine for a middling team, but it's unlikely he'll fully pull ahead of Elvis Merzlikins in the competition for time in the crease. The Blue Jackets' next game is at home against the Oilers on Thursday.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Earns second straight win
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 37 of 39 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blues.
The Blue Jackets have been rotating their goaltenders this season, meaning Greaves got the nod here against St. Louis and Elvis Merzlikins will start the second leg of this back-to-back set against the Islanders on Sunday. Greaves has gone 3-3-0 this season but has won his last two starts, posting a solid .935 save percentage in that stretch. If the rotation between the pipes continues for Columbus, Greaves would be lined up to make his next start against the Flames on Wednesday.

Greaves has won two of his last three starts and is 2-3-0 with a 2.81 GAA and a .907 save percentage. He is sharing the net with Elvis Merzlikins on an equal basis at this time. The Blues are 21st in NHL scoring this season, averaging 2.91 goals per game.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Draws start in Buffalo
Rotowire
Greaves will patrol the road crease Tuesday against the Sabres, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.
Greaves will continue to split starts with Elvis Merzlikins, as neither netminder has started back-to-back games so far in 2025-26. The 24-year-old Greaves had his first poor showing against the Capitals on Friday, surrendering five goals on 30 shots while picking up the loss. The Sabres have looked great lately, going 4-1-1 in their last six games, and they've scored at least three goals in all but one of those contests.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: First poor outing of season
Rotowire
Greaves allowed five goals on 30 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Capitals.
This was Greaves' first really bad game of the season, though he ended up with his third loss in four starts. The 24-year-old allowed just one goal through two periods before the Capitals broke things open in the third. Greaves has alternated starts with Elvis Merzlikins early in the campaign, and that workload may continue throughout the year. Expect Merzlikins to start Saturday in Pittsburgh before Greaves presumably leads off another back-to-back set with a road start in Buffalo on Tuesday.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Starting against Washington
Rotowire
Greaves will start Friday's home game against the Capitals, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
The early-season timeshare between Greaves and Elvis Merzlikins will continue in the first half of a back-to-back set Friday. Over Greaves' first three starts of the year, he's gone 1-2-0 with a 2.03 GAA and a .928 save percentage. It wouldn't be surprising to see Merzlikins take over in net for Saturday's road matchup against Pittsburgh.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: In goal Monday
Rotowire
Greaves will get the starting nod at home versus the Devils on Monday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Greaves posted a fantastic .938 save percentage in the season opener against the Predators on Thursday but still came away with a loss due to the lack of offensive support. It's still early in the year, but through three games, the Jackets have been rotating their backstops, so look for Elvis Merzlikins to get the nod in Thursday's home game against the Avalanche.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Tending twine Tuesday
Rotowire
Greaves will protect the home crease in Tuesday's preseason game versus the Capitals, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.
Greaves turned in an excellent performance in his last start of the preseason Wednesday, making 24 saves on 25 shots in a 4-1 win over Pittsburgh. This will be the 24-year-old netminder's third appearance in exhibition play, and considering Columbus has only one tune-up game left after Tuesday's matchup, this could be the last action Greaves sees until the start of the regular season.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Will return to AHL
Rotowire
Greaves will be reassigned to AHL Cleveland following Thursday's 6-1 win over the Islanders, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Graves made a great case for himself late in the season, winning the Blue Jackets' last five games of the year. He allowed just four goals on 160 shots in that span, good for a .975 save percentage. He'll head down to Cleveland for the remainder of the Monsters' regular season and playoff run, but the 24-year-old has put himself in position for a spot on Columbus' 2025-26 roster, and potentially even the team's No. 1 job in net.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Tending twine to close out season

Greaves will defend the home crease against the Islanders on Thursday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
The Blue Jackets were eliminated from postseason contention when the Canadiens defeated the Hurricanes on Wednesday night, but Greaves will still get the start in Thursday's regular-season finale since Elvis Merzlikins (upper body) remains sidelined. Greaves helped to keep Columbus in the mix for a playoff spot by going 4-0-0 with a 0.75 GAA and .976 save percentage over his last four starts.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Another shutout Tuesday
Rotowire
Greaves turned aside all 29 shots he faced in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.
The 24-year-old netminder has become a folk hero in Columbus over the last week, winning four straight starts since being recalled from AHL Cleveland and allowing a total of only three goals on 123 shots, picking up two shutouts along the way. Greaves' hot streak has improbably kept the Blue Jackets alive in the playoff race, and they now need a regulation win in their regular-season finale Thursday against the Islanders -- plus a regulation loss by the Canadiens on Wednesday against the Hurricanes -- to claim the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. Regardless of the availability of Elvis Merzlikins (upper body), Greaves seems certain to get the start Thursday if the game still means something for Columbus.
