Greaves was assigned to AHL Cleveland on Saturday.
Greaves joined the Blue Jackets on an emergency basis for Friday's 6-3 loss to Columbus because Daniil Tarasov (illness) was unavailable. With Greaves returned to the minors, Tarasov could be available to be Elvis Merzlikins' backup versus the Islanders on Monday.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Back with big club
Rotowire
Greaves was called up from AHL Cleveland under emergency conditions Thursday.
Greaves' recall suggests there may be another issue with the Blue Jackets' goaltending depth. Elvis Merzlikins was recently away from the team to tend to a personal matter, but he returned to action for Thursday's 1-0 overtime loss to the Panthers. The Blue Jackets play again Friday in Pittsburgh, so more information may be available prior to that contest.
Greaves suited up in Monday's clash with the Devils, giving up two goals on 20 shots (.900 save percentage) in a losing effort. Overall, the 23-year-old backstop is 2-2-2 with a 2.83 GAA in six NHL outings this season. The decision to return Greaves to the minors likely points to Elvis Merzlikins rejoining the team ahead of Thursday's clash with Florida.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Burned by blunder against Devils
Rotowire
Greaves made 18 saves in Monday's 2-1 loss to New Jersey.
Both Devils goals came in a 39-second span in the second period, and Greaves would like another crack at the second one -- he misplayed the puck behind the net and watched it land right on Jesper Bratt's stick before he could scramble back into the crease. With Elvis Merzlikins away from the Jackets to attend to a personal matter, Greaves could be in line for consistent work while splitting time with Daniil Tarasov, but both goalies will have trouble getting results if the Columbus offense doesn't wake up. Mathieu Olivier's third-period goal Monday was the team's first in three games after back-to-back shutout losses.

Rotowire
Greaves will serve as the starting netminder for Monday's home game against New Jersey, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Greaves will make his first start since being called up by the Blue Jackets on Friday, as Elvis Merzlikins (personal) remains sidelined. Over five NHL appearances this year, Greaves has gone 2-1-2 with a 2.98 GAA and .906 save percentage.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Recalled Friday
Rotowire
Greaves was summoned by Columbus on an emergency basis Friday.
Greaves has a 2.84 GAA and a .915 save percentage in 34 outings with AHL Cleveland in 2024-25. He also has a 2-1-2 record, 2.98 GAA and .906 save percentage in five appearances with Columbus. His promotion under emergency circumstances suggests that either Elvis Merzlikins or Daniil Tarasov might miss Saturday's home game against the Rangers.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Excellent in win Saturday
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 31 of 32 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Blues.
Greaves has made five starts over the Blue Jackets' last eight games, and he has won the last two after starting that stretch 0-1-2. He has been hit or miss over that stretch, posting a save percentage below .880 three times but above .940 in the other two. He'll continue to battle for playing time in a crowded Columbus crease that tends to lean on the hot hand.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Reassigned to AHL
Rotowire
Greavs was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Sunday.
Greaves was stellar in a win Saturday, stopping 31 of 32 shots against St. Louis. However, the 23-year-old netminder will return to the AHL a day later with Daniil Tarasov returning from a conditioning assignment. Greaves has made five NHL appearances this year, going 2-1-2 with a .906 save percentage and 2.98 GAA.

Greaves has a 1-1-2 record while surrendering 14 goals on 127 shots in four NHL appearances this season. The 23-year-old Greaves earned a recall from the AHL on Friday after Daniil Tarasov headed to the minors for a conditioning assignment. The Blues rank 21st in the league with 2.86 goals per game in 2024-25.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Recalled from minors
Rotowire
Greaves was called up from AHL Cleveland on Friday.
Greaves was 1-1-2 with a 3.47 GAA and a .890 save percentage with the Blue Jackets before he was sent to the minors Dec. 23.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Sent to minors

Greaves was loaned to AHL Cleveland on Monday.
Greaves registered his first win of the season Monday, stopping 27 of 31 shots in a 5-4 win over Montreal. The 23-year-old will rejoin the Monsters, where he's posted an 8-4-2 record, 3.21 GAA and .902 save percentage through 15 AHL appearances in 2024-25.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Battles for win
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 27 of 31 shots in Monday's 5-4 win over Montreal.
Greaves got the call instead of Elvis Merzlikins, who was dealing with a minor injury, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic. Greaves blew leads of 2-0 and 3-1, reminiscent of Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Flyers, but the Blue Jackets countered and overcame a 4-3 deficit for the win. This was Greaves' fourth start and first win at the NHL level this season, but he's also allowed at least four goals in three of his games.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Starting against Montreal
Rotowire
Greaves will defend the home crease against the Canadiens on Monday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Head coach Dean Evason suggested before Monday's matchup that Elvis Merzlikins could be dealing with an injury, so Greaves will draw the start in the Blue Jackets' final game before the NHL's Christmas break. Over his three appearances this season, Greaves has posted an 0-1-2 record, 3.30 GAA and .896 save percentage.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Rejoins NHL club
Rotowire
Greaves was recalled by the Blue Jackets on an emergency basis Sunday.
Greaves has made three appearances for the Blue Jackets this year, posting a 0-1-2 record, 3.30 GAA and .896 save percentage. The team hasn't indicated that Elvis Merzlikins or Daniil Tarasov are dealing with injuries, so it's unclear whether Greaves will see any time in the net during his time with the NHL club.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Sent to AHL
Rotowire
Greaves was loaned to AHL Cleveland on Wednesday.
Greaves spent the past week with the Blue Jackets. He was effective during his first start Thursday against the Capitals, turning aside 35 of 37 shots (.946 save percentage) in an overtime loss. However, he was less reliable during his subsequent two starts, posting a 0-1-1 record, 4.02 GAA and .862 save percentage against the Ducks and Lightning. The 25-year-old could rejoin the NHL club at some point since the Blue Jackets' other netminders haven't been particularly strong recently, but Elvis Merzlikins and Daniil Tarasov should see most of the playing time between the pipes for now.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Getting lots of reps
Rotowire
Greaves made 27 saves in a 5-3 loss to the Lightning on Tuesday.
The game was closer than the score -- the Jackets staged a third-period comeback before the Bolts put in an empty-net goal. Greaves has started three of the team's last four games, and he hasn't recorded a win. But he has made some key saves and impressed his coach. No goalie on the Jackets is a safe play. But at some point, they will need to look at handing the reins to Greaves or Daniil Tarasov to see who emerges from their system.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Drawing start Tuesday
Rotowire
Greaves will patrol the road crease Tuesday against Tampa Bay, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.
Greaves has lost both of his appearances in overtime this season, allowing six goals on 64 shots. The Ontario native is getting a shot at the No. 2 netminding gig due to Daniil Tarasov's struggles between the pipes. The 23-year-old Greaves will have a tough assignment Tuesday against a Lightning team that ranks first in the NHL with 4.00 goals per game.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Falls to Anaheim in OT
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 23 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Making his second straight start since being recalled from AHL Cleveland, Greaves didn't get a lot of help from his defense, and Anaheim's OT winner came on an Alex Killorn breakaway. Elvis Merzlikins (3.06 GAA and .888 save percentage) and Daniil Tarasov (4.25 GAA and .857 save percentage) have had shaky starts to the season, so the door could be open for Greaves to work his way to the top of the Columbus depth chart if he can string together some good outings. So far so good for the 23-year-old netminder, who has allowed six goals on 64 shots since his promotion.
