Gillies signed a professional tryout agreement with Toronto on Tuesday. Gillies has compiled a record of 8-16-3 with a 3.39 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 35 career NHL appearances for Calgary, St. Louis, New Jersey and Columbus. He will get a look during training camp, but securing a contract could be difficult after he didn't see any playing time during the 2023-24 season.

Gillies (lower body) will not return against Buffalo on Friday. Gillies did not come back to the game to begin the third period after picking up a lower-body injury. He stopped 24 of 27 shots before being replaced by Michael Hutchinson. Gillies allowed nine goals on 66 shots in three NHL appearances this season.

Gillies is expected to guard the home crease against the Sabres on Friday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. Gillies has appeared in two games with Columbus this year, during which he's surrendered six goals on 39 shots. He also has a 3.70 GAA and an .878 save percentage in 15 AHL contests with Tucson in 2022-23. Buffalo has the third-ranked offense with 3.56 goals per game this season.

Gillies allowed three goals on 12 shots coming in relief in the Blue Jackets' 8-1 loss to the Devils on Thursday. After Michael Hutchinson got pulled early in the third period, Gillies did not fare much better, allowing three goals on just 12 shots, though at least he wasn't saddled with the loss. This was just Gilles' second appearance of the season, and he's allowed three goals in both games. He should continue to serve as the backup until Elvis Merzlikins returns.

Gillies was called up from AHL Cleveland on Wednesday. Gillies has played in just one game for the Jackets this season, in which he made 24 saves in a winning effort over the Senators, and will now switch places with Jet Greaves, who was sent down in a corresponding move. As long as Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) remains unavailable, the Jackets will likely continue to rotate their netminders to give everybody in the organization a look.
