Greaves will get the start in goal Sunday against the Bruins, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Greaves has lost two of his last three starts despite allowing just five goals combined over that stretch. The 24-year-old is 24-18-8 on the season with a 2.55 GAA and a .910 save percentage. Greaves didn't play in either of the prior two meetings with the Bruins this season, but he will start Sunday's contest against a hot Boston team that has won four of its last five games,

Knight will protect the road net against New Jersey on Sunday, per Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News.

Knight has gone 0-1-1 in his last two outings while allowing eight goals on 75 shots. He has posted a record of 18-20-10 this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.69 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 48 appearances. New Jersey sits 27th in the league with 2.71 goals per game this season.

Meier scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Meier scored at 17:06 of the first period to open the scoring, only for the Hurricanes to net the next five tallies. This was Meier's third straight game with a goal, and he has five tallies and a helper over his last seven outings. The recent surge has him up to 22 goals, 37 points, 238 shots on net, 119 hits, 48 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating over 67 appearances this season.

Carrier's goal drought reached 20 games in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

Carrier has just three assists to go with 21 shots on net and 50 hits in that span. The 31-year-old still remains the Hurricanes' preferred source of fourth-line toughness even after the team acquired Nicolas Deslauriers from the Flyers at the trade deadline. Carrier has produced 14 points, 71 shots on net, 148 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 61 outings this season, giving him minimal fantasy upside.

Blake scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

Blake has put together a decent March with four goals and five helpers over 13 contests. The 22-year-old winger continues to hold down a top-six role, and while he's not on the leading edge of the Hurricanes' offense, he contributes his fair share. He's up to 21 goals, 45 points, 155 shots on net and 38 PIM over 72 appearances this season.

Staal scored a goal on two shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

Staal scored for the third time in the last four games. The 37-year-old center is up to 19 tallies, putting him on the doorstep of his first 20-goal regular season since 2015-16. In recent campaigns, Staal has been a steady source of hits while finishing around the 35-point mark, giving him some appeal in deeper fantasy formats. He's at 32 points, 96 shots on net, 150 hits, 41 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 69 appearances this season.

Jarvis scored a shorthanded empty-net goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

Jarvis extended his point streak to five games (two goals, six assists) with the late tally, which was his 30th goal of the year. That's a mark he's reached three years running, making Jarvis one of the steadiest young goal scorers in the league. He's at 61 points (20 on the power play, four shorthanded) with 204 shots on net, 78 hits, 26 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 64 appearances.

Sillinger scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.

Sillinger had six points over three games from March 17-21, but he cooled off again before his goal Saturday. The 22-year-old forward continues to fill a third-line role at even strength, making him more of a complementary piece for the Blue Jackets. He's matched his career high of 33 points from last year and stands at eight goals, 25 assists, 123 shots on net, 99 hits, 41 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 72 appearances this season.

Mateychuk scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.

Mateychuk tallied just 31 seconds into the contest, snapping a five-game drought. The 21-year-old defenseman has shown his skills, especially as a finisher, with 12 goals and 29 points over 66 appearances. He's shooting 16.0 percent, which makes him a risky bet to replicate his efficiency in future seasons. Mateychuk has added 75 shots on net, 81 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating while mainly playing in the top four.

Dickinson's point drought reached six games in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Dickinson has played in every game since the Olympic break, but he has just three assists with a minus-4 rating over 16 outings in that span. He has added 23 shots on net, 21 hits and 19 blocked shots, setting the foundation for a career that should be full of well-rounded production as a future top-pairing option. The 2024 first-round pick has earned 12 points, 65 shots on net, 63 hits, 60 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 61 appearances as a rookie this year.
