Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Wins fourth straight start
Rotowire
Greaves made 25 saves in an 8-5 win over the Lightning on Saturday.
The game was orchestral chaos most of the night. Greaves bent early in the second, allowing two goals in 1:29 that tied things 4-4. However, he regained his composure and stood tall, even when the Bolts pulled their goalie with more than five minutes remaining in the game. Greaves has won his last four starts, but we're watching the Columbus net. Head coach Rick Bowness is giving both Greaves and Elvis Merzlikins equal opportunity to earn time in net. Greaves is doing his part to push Elvis off the throne entirely, but the next little while could be messy for starts for both men.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Set to start against Flames
Rotowire
Greaves will start Tuesday's home contest against the Flames, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.
After a solid outing in Sunday's win over the Mammoth, Greaves will be called upon for the second straight game amidst Elvis Merzlikins' struggles to stay healthy and post consistent numbers. Greaves' win Sunday snapped Columbus' 0-3-1 winless drought. The 24-year-old netminder has a 13-12-6 record with a 2.71 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 31 outings this season. Entering Tuesday's contest, Calgary has generated 2.48 goals per game this season, which ranks second-worst in the league, giving Greaves a favorable matchup.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Gets back in win column
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 25 of 27 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.
Greaves had lost four of his last five outings, but a breather Saturday appears to have done him some good. He limited the Mammoth to two goals, scored 4:42 apart between the late first period and early second frame. All of Greaves' last five wins have come when he limits an opponent to two goals or fewer. The 24-year-old netminder is up to 13-12-6 with a 2.71 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 31 appearances this season. He should still see a majority of the starts over Elvis Merzlikins, but it will be important for the Blue Jackets to build in some rest for Greaves to keep his performance on track. The team's next game is at home Tuesday versus the Flames.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Beaten five times
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 38 of 43 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Greaves has dropped two of his last three starts, but fantasy managers would be wise to look past his win-loss record to see what he brings to the table. The 24-year-old netminder has been playing well of late -- this was the first time since Nov. 28 (also against Pittsburgh) where he allowed more than three goals. Over his last 10 games, Greaves has gone 5-4-1 with a 2.46 GAA and a .917 save percentage.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Another tough loss Thursday
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 23 of 26 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild, with Minnesota's final two goals getting scored into an empty net.
Two of the pucks that got past Greaves were tap-ins from right on his doorstep, while the other saw Vladimir Tarasenko complete a tic-tac-toe passing play on a 3-on-2 rush by the Wild. The 24-year-old netminder has given up three goals or fewer in six straight appearances, but he has just a 1-5-0 record to show for his 2.65 GAA and .912 save percentage over that stretch. Greaves appears to be locking down the top spot in the Columbus crease, but without more offensive support, his fantasy value will remain shaky.

Still, the talented netminder continues to impress, racking up an 8-8-5 record with a 2.76 GAA and .905 save percentage in 20 starts. Greaves has assumed the starter's role in Columbus, and we don't think he'll look back.

During his winless run, the 24-year-old backstop is 0-4-3, even with a solid 2.82 GAA and .904 save percentage.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Extends losing streak
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 27 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Greaves was beaten once in the second period and three times in the final frame, as the Blue Jackets couldn't hold on to their lead. Greaves has been in a major slump and hasn't won a start since Nov. 20, when he earned the W against the Maple Leafs. Since then, he's gone 0-2-3 with a 2.78 GAA and a .905 save percentage. The record and the five-game slump certainly look worse than his peripherals.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Gets no help in loss
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 36 of 37 shots in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Capitals. Washington's second goal was scored into an empty net.
Greaves was great, but Logan Thompson did a little better in protecting the opposite net. This was Greaves' fourth straight loss (0-1-3), and he's allowed 11 goals on 118 shots in that span. Elvis Merzlikins didn't exactly dominate in starting three straight games, so the door should be open for Greaves to maintain a good share of playing time. On the year, the 24-year-old Greaves is 7-5-5 with a 2.71 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 17 starts this season. The Blue Jackets' next game is a tough one on the road versus the Hurricanes.
