Jon Gillies: Released from PTO
The Maple Leafs released Gillies from his PTO on Thursday.
The 30-year-old netminder did not see any action in preseason games with the Maple Leafs. Gillies did not play at any level last season. He was sent to AHL Toronto, but he could be released at some point as the Marlies have depth in net at this time.

Maple Leafs' Jon Gillies: Agrees to professional tryout
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.

Blue Jackets' Jon Gillies: Allows three in loss
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.

Blue Jackets' Jon Gillies: Recalled from minors Wednesday
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.

Blue Jackets' Jon Gillies: Earns win in season debut
Gillies stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.
Gillies struggled early in his first outing of the season, allowing three goals in the first period, but he settled down and blanked Ottawa the rest of the way en route to a 4-3 overtime victory. The 29-year-old netminder went 3-10-2 last season with an .887 save percentage in 20 appearances between St. Louis and New Jersey. Gillies should continue to back up Michael Hutchinson while Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) is sidelined.

Blue Jackets' Jon Gillies: Joins big club

Blue Jackets' Jon Gillies: Traded to Columbus
Gillies was traded from Arizona to the Blue Jackets in exchange for Jakub Voracek and a 2023 sixth-round pick Thursday.
The Blue Jackets traded Joonas Korpisalo to the Kings on Wednesday, and although Jonathan Quick was included in the return, Columbus is expected to try and flip Quick to a contender prior to Friday's trade deadline, so the team was in need of organizational depth at goaltender, leading to Thursday's acquisition of Gillies. Gillies hasn't appeared in an NHL contest this season, and even if Quick ends up getting moved, Gillies will likely stick with AHL Cleveland for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign.

Coyotes' Jon Gillies: Snags two-way deal
Gillies signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Coyotes on Wednesday.
Gillies bounced around the NHL, AHL and even the ECHL in 2021-22, but he spent most of his time with the Devils, going 3-10-0 while posting a sub-par 3.76 GAA and .885 save percentage through 19 appearances. The Coyotes may not be done adding netminders, but for now, Gillies will slot in as the team's No. 2 option in goal behind Karel Vejmelka.

Devils' Jon Gillies: Six saves in relief
Gillies stopped all six shots he faced after replacing the ineffective Andrew Hammond in the third period of Thursday's 6-3 loss to Carolina.
The Devils outscored the Hurricanes 2-0 during Gillies' time in the game, but Carolina dominated 6-1 prior to that point. New Jersey has just one game left, so Gillies will likely finish the season with a 3-10-2 record, 3.70 GAA and .887 save percentage.

Devils' Jon Gillies: Tough OT loss to Canes
Gillies made 26 saves in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
It was a bitter loss to take for Gillies, who carried a shutout into the final five minutes of the third period only for bad bounces and bad defensive play to hand the win to Carolina. The 28-year-old netminder was making his first start in over a month, but the performance was likely good enough to earn him more work over the Devils' final four games of the season despite his 3.82 GAA and .883 save percentage.

Devils' Jon Gillies: Facing Hurricanes
Gillies will start between the pipes in Saturday's home game versus Carolina, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
Gillies hasn't started in goal since March 19 versus Edmonton, when he surrendered five goals on 39 shots en route to a 6-3 defeat. He'll try to pick up his fourth win of the year in a tough home matchup with a Hurricanes team that's 22-12-4 on the road this season.

Devils' Jon Gillies: Appears in relief
Gillies made 17 saves in relief after taking the net against the Bruins at the 9:01 mark of the second period in Thursday's 8-1 loss. He allowed three goals.
The Devils were on their heels from the opening minute and never recovered, and starter Nico Daws was chased with the Bruins up 5-1. Daws had made five straight starts, so Gillies could be in line for a start very soon. The Devils play back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday against the Panthers and Islanders.

Devils' Jon Gillies: Buried by Oilers
Gillies stopped 34 of 39 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers.

He hasn't won a game in over a month, last picking up a victory Feb. 10 in St. Louis, and on the season the netminder is saddled with a 3.80 GAA and .884 save percentage.
