Drawing start Tuesday Greaves will patrol the road crease Tuesday against Tampa Bay, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

Impact 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. The 23-year-old Greaves will have a tough assignment Tuesday against a Lightning team that ranks first overall in the the NHL with 4.00 goals per game.

Falls to Anaheim in OT Greaves stopped 23 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Impact 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 .88 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.

Slated to start Saturday Greaves is in the starter's crease at morning skate, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports, and is expected to defend the home crease versus Anaheim on Saturday.

Impact Elvis Merzlikins and Daniil Tarasov worked out before the optional skate, making it appear that Greaves will start. Greaves was outstanding Thursday in a 2-1 overtime loss to Washington, stopping 35 shots in his first NHL game of the season. He will face the Ducks, who are averaging a measly 2.36 goals per game in 2024-25.

Big-game performance Thursday Greaves made 35 saves in a 2-1 loss to Washington on Thursday.

Impact It was a sharp performance from Greaves after he was called up earlier this week. There has been speculation that Greaves was auditioning for more playing time given the team's souring on Danill Tarasov. If that's the case, he made an impression. Strong opponent, strong game.

Set to face Washington Greaves is expected to start in Thursday's home tilt against the Capitals, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic on Wednesday.

Impact It will be Greaves' first NHL appearance of the 2024-25 campaign. He's up with the Blue Jackets despite Elvis Merzlikins or Daniil Tarasov both seemingly being healthy, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers. However, Tarasov is having an extremely rough campaign with a 4.25 GAA and an .857 save percentage through nine outings, which has led to Merzlikins starting in 10 of Columbus' last 11 games. Perhaps Greaves is simply up because the Blue Jackets have soured on Tarasov, and if that's the case, then the game against Washington is an opportunity for the 23-year-old Greaves to make his pitch to remain with the team. The Capitals are a difficult assignment, though -- Washington is 19-6-2 and ranks first in goals per game with 4.04.

Called up from minors Greaves was elevated from AHL Cleveland on Wednesday.

Impact Greaves' promotion could be an indication that Elvis Merzlikins or Daniil Tarasov is dealing with an injury or illness ahead of Thursday's clash with the Capitals. In his nine appearances last year, the 23-year-old Greaves went 3-6-0 with a 3.49 GAA. He's been significantly better in the minors this year, going 8-4-2 with a 3.21 GAA and .902 save percentage. If there is an injury in the goalie tandem, Greaves could be pressed into service against Anaheim or Carolina on Saturday or Sunday, respectively.

Returns to AHL Greaves was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Saturday.

Impact Greaves was up with the Blue Jackets under emergency conditions because Daniil Tarasov was unavailable for Friday's 5-2 win over Calgary due to an illness. Greaves served as Elvis Merzlikins' understudy for that victory. The 23-year-old Greaves' return to the minors suggests Tarasov is probably available for Sunday's tilt in Chicago, though there is still time for Columbus to recall a goaltender if that's not the case.

NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Emergency recall Friday Greaves was recalled by the Blue Jackets under emergency conditions Friday.

Impact The fact that it's an emergency recall implies either Elvis Merzlikins or Daniil Tarasov is in danger of missing Friday's home game against Calgary. Greaves has a 3.23 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 11 appearances with AHL Cleveland in 2024-25.

NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Shipped back to minors Greaves was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Monday.

Impact Greaves' demotion ahead of Tuesday's clash with Toronto would seem to indicate that Elvis Merzlikins (upper body) will at least be healthy enough to serve as the backup against the Leafs. With youngster Daniil Tarasov having secured the No. 2 role in Columbus, it will take another injury or a trade of Merzlikins for Greaves to get another opportunity this season.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Called up Wednesday Greaves was called up by Columbus on Wednesday.

Impact Greaves has made one appearances with AHL Cleveland this year and had a difficult time, posting a 7.01 GAA and an .800 save percentage. He has a 3.44 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 10 career NHL regular-season games. His promotion to Columbus might indicate that the availability of Elvis Merzlikins or Daniil Tarasov is in question for Thursday's home contest against Buffalo, but at the moment, neither of the Blue Jackets' regular two goaltenders have a reported injury or illness. If either Merzlikins or Tarasov can't play Thursday, then Greaves will probably dress as the backup netminder.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to AHL Greaves was sent down to AHL Cleveland on Saturday, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

Impact Greaves is currently the third goaltender in the Columbus system as Elvis Merzlikins and Daniil Tarasov are ahead of him on the depth chart. Greaves appeared in nine NHL games in 2023-24, going 3-6-0 with a 3.49 GAA and a .908 save percentage as lowly Columbus failed to make the playoffs. He sparkled in 46 AHL appearances with Cleveland, winning 30 games. He should be the first goaltender recalled if there are any injuries to Merzlikins and/or Tarasov.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Impresses in preseason road win Greaves stopped 22 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 preseason win over the Blues.

Impact Greaves improved from his previous outing, doing his part to shut down a fairly veteran Blues roster in this contest. While it was a strong performance, there is little chance he makes the Opening Night roster for the Blue Jackets. Greaves could be an option if Columbus carries three goalies, but he remains behind Elvis Merzlikins and Daniil Tarasov on the depth chart.

Protecting road net Greaves will start on the road versus the Blues in Tuesday's preseason game, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Greaves allowed three goals on 15 shots in his previous start against the Sabres. The 23-year-old netminder is unlikely to make the Opening Night roster, and a poor performance Tuesday could lead to him being sent to AHL Cleveland.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in Buffalo Greaves will defend the road net in Monday's preseason matchup against the Sabres, according to Joe Yerdon of Bleacher Report.

Impact Greaves earned a 3-6-0 record with a 3.49 GAA and a .908 save percentage over nine regular-season contests with Columbus in 2023-24. He will probably begin the upcoming campaign in the minors because Elvis Merzlikins and Daniil Tarasov are expected to occupy the top two spots for the Blue Jackets on Opening Night.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Re-signs with Columbus Greaves signed a two-year, $1.625 million contract with the Blue Jackets on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact The first year of the deal is a two-way contract, while the second year is a one-way deal. Greaves will get $800,000 during the 2024-25 campaign, while he is in the NHL, and $825,000 the following season. Greaves was 3-6-0 with a 3.49 GAA and a .908 save percentage in nine NHL appearances in 2023-24. He will battle Elvis Merzlikins and Daniil Tarasov at training camp for a spot between the pipes for the Blue Jackets, but he could easily be sent down because of his two-way contract.

JULY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down after finale Greaves was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Tuesday.

Impact Greaves stopped 38 of 41 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes. He'll now head back to the Monsters with the Blue Jackets' season over, giving the AHL team reinforcements for the Calder Cup playoffs. Greaves went 3-6-0 with a 3.49 GAA and a .908 save percentage over nine NHL outings.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

Facing Hurricanes Greaves will patrol the home crease versus Carolina in Tuesday's season finale, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Greaves has gone 2-6-0 in limited NHL action this season, but he's posted a decent .906 save percentage behind a poor Blue Jackets team over that stretch. He'll try to secure his third career NHL victory in a rough home matchup with a red-hot Hurricanes squad that's won five straight games.

APRIL 16 • ROTOWIRE

Back in net Saturday Greaves will get a road start Saturday versus the Predators, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact It'll be the fifth start in Columbus' last six games for Greaves, with Daniil Tarasov (upper body) and Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) both sidelined. He'd gone 1-3-0 despite a solid .923 save percentage in his last four outings. Greaves will face a Nashville team averaging 3.23 goals per game.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Busy in Thursday's loss Greaves turned aside 42 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Matthew Tkachuk ripped a shot past Greaves just 47 seconds into the first period, and the 23-year-old netminder got little help the rest of the night as he faced a season-high 46 shots on net. Since his promotion in early April, Greaves has allowed 11 goals on 142 shots (.923 save percentage), but he has just a 3.02 GAA and 1-3-0 record to show for it as the Blue Jackets get ready to head back to the draft lottery.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Thursday Greaves is expected to start on the road against Florida on Thursday, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

Impact Greaves has a 2-4-0 record, 3.04 GAA and .916 save percentage in six games this season. He stopped 28 of 32 shots en route to a 5-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday. Florida figures to be another difficult adversary for Greaves -- the Panthers are 23-13-2 at home.
