Elvis Merzlikins - Available Thursday Merzlikins (upper body) is good to dress as the backup goaltender for Thursday's game against Edmonton.
Impact Merzlikins has a 12-13-7 record, 3.21 GAA and .904 save percentage in 35 appearances in 2023-24. Daniil Tarasov is expected to start Thursday, but Merzlikins might play between the pipes Saturday against Nashville.

Daniil Tarasov - Facing Oilers Tarasov will defend the home crease versus Edmonton on Thursday, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.
Impact Tarasov has been sharing the net with Elvis Merzlikins of late. Tarasov is 5-8-2 with a 3.58 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 15 appearances this season. He has a tough matchup against Connor McDavid and the Oilers, who have scored 214 goals in 60 games, sixth in the NHL.

Jet Greaves - Heads to AHL Greaves was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Wednesday.
Impact Greaves got the start against Pittsburgh on Tuesday, stopping 26 of 31 shots en route to a 5-3 loss. He has a 2.88 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 37 outings with Cleveland this season. This move might mean Elvis Merzlikins (upper body) will be available Thursday versus Edmonton.

Andrew Peeke - Pots first tally of season Peeke produced an even-strength goal and a shorthanded assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.
Impact The second-period goal was his first of the season, while the points were his first since Jan. 13, snapping a seven-game point drought that had seen him be a frequent healthy scratch. Peeke only drew into the lineup Tuesday due to some missing bodies among the forward ranks, as the Blue Jackets went with seven defensemen, but this performance was good enough that it might earn him a spot among the team's regular pairings.
MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE
Jack Roslovic - Two points in Tuesday's loss Roslovic scored a shorthanded goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.
Impact The 27-year-old pending free agent is doing everything he can to enhance his trade value. Roslovic has four multi-point performances in the last eight games, and in 12 contests since the All-Star break he's amassed three goals and 12 points while seeing top-line minutes alongside Johnny Gaudreau and Boone Jenner.
MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE
Jet Greaves - Tough night in Pittsburgh Greaves turned aside 26 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.
Impact It was just one of those nights for the young goalie -- Pittsburgh's third goal, a Rickard Rakell power-play tally, was the result of a clearing attempt from behind the net by Erik Gudbranson that caromed past Greaves off the Pens forward's skate. Greaves' stay in the NHL could be a short one, as there's been no indication Elvis Merzlikins' upper-body injury is a serious one. Even if Merzlikins isn't ready to return Thursday for a home tilt against the Oilers, it will likely be Daniil Tarasov in the crease for the Jackets.
