Rotowire
Greaves stopped 20 of 24 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Greaves has lost his last three games in overtime, allowing 10 goals on 81 shots in that span. The 24-year-old hasn't been able to bail out the Blue Jackets from their third-period struggles, but he also hasn't lost a game in regulation since Nov. 5 versus the Flames. Greaves dropped to 7-4-5 with a 2.81 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 16 starts after this poor outing. The Blue Jackets have a tough road game up next when they visit the Devils on Monday to begin a four-game week.

Rotowire
Greaves stopped 22 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
Greaves was outstanding in the first two periods but allowed two goals after the Blue Jackets opened the scoring. He has lost two straight overtime contests and has three defeats in his last five starts, but the numbers are better than the record might indicate.

Rotowire
Greaves made 29 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
The Blue Jackets took a 3-1 lead midway through the third period on a Zach Werenski tally, but Greaves couldn't deny a late rally by the home side, which got capped by Alex DeBrincat's winner 1:50 into the extra frame. Greaves has still gone seven straight starts without a regulation loss, posting a 4-0-3 record with a .901 save percentage over that stretch as he seizes control of the top job in the Columbus crease.

Greaves will be making his fifth consecutive appearance in the crease for the Blue Jackets, seemingly cementing himself as the No. 1 option in Columbus. In his last four outings, the young netminder is sporting a 2.63 GAA and a 2-0-2 record.

Rotowire
Greaves will be between the home pipes versus the Rangers on Saturday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Earns second straight win
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 25 of 29 shots in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Oilers.
Greaves was beaten twice in the second period and twice more in the third, but he was able to hold off Edmonton's comeback attempt in the final moments of the game. The 24-year-old has started in each of the Blue Jackets' last three games and might be in a position to take over the No. 1 role from Elvis Merzlikins. Greaves has gone 2-0-1 with a 3.23 GAA and an .868 save percentage over those three games, however, so Merzlikins might still have a shot at seeing regular playing time if Greaves' numbers don't improve substantially in the coming games.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Sharp in shootout win
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 22 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Kraken.
Greaves played both halves of the Blue Jackets' back-to-back. He was torched for five goals on 24 shots Monday in Edmonton, but he fared much better against the Kraken's pedestrian offense, earning his first win in his last three starts. This was also his first instance of starting consecutive games this season. Greaves is up to 4-4-1 with a 2.89 GAA and a .901 save percentage over nine starts. The 24-year-old has been fine for a middling team, but it's unlikely he'll fully pull ahead of Elvis Merzlikins in the competition for time in the crease. The Blue Jackets' next game is at home against the Oilers on Thursday.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Earns second straight win
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 37 of 39 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blues.
The Blue Jackets have been rotating their goaltenders this season, meaning Greaves got the nod here against St. Louis and Elvis Merzlikins will start the second leg of this back-to-back set against the Islanders on Sunday. Greaves has gone 3-3-0 this season but has won his last two starts, posting a solid .935 save percentage in that stretch. If the rotation between the pipes continues for Columbus, Greaves would be lined up to make his next start against the Flames on Wednesday.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Draws start in Buffalo
Rotowire
Greaves will patrol the road crease Tuesday against the Sabres, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.
Greaves will continue to split starts with Elvis Merzlikins, as neither netminder has started back-to-back games so far in 2025-26. The 24-year-old Greaves had his first poor showing against the Capitals on Friday, surrendering five goals on 30 shots while picking up the loss. The Sabres have looked great lately, going 4-1-1 in their last six games, and they've scored at least three goals in all but one of those contests.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: First poor outing of season
Rotowire
Greaves allowed five goals on 30 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Capitals.
This was Greaves' first really bad game of the season, though he ended up with his third loss in four starts. The 24-year-old allowed just one goal through two periods before the Capitals broke things open in the third. Greaves has alternated starts with Elvis Merzlikins early in the campaign, and that workload may continue throughout the year. Expect Merzlikins to start Saturday in Pittsburgh before Greaves presumably leads off another back-to-back set with a road start in Buffalo on Tuesday.

Rotowire
Greaves will start Friday's home game against the Capitals, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
The early-season timeshare between Greaves and Elvis Merzlikins will continue in the first half of a back-to-back set Friday. Over Greaves' first three starts of the year, he's gone 1-2-0 with a 2.03 GAA and a .928 save percentage. It wouldn't be surprising to see Merzlikins take over in net for Saturday's road matchup against Pittsburgh.

Greaves will get the starting nod at home versus the Devils on Monday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Greaves posted a fantastic .938 save percentage in the season opener against the Predators on Thursday but still came away with a loss due to the lack of offensive support. It's still early in the year, but through three games, the Jackets have been rotating their backstops, so look for Elvis Merzlikins to get the nod in Thursday's home game against the Avalanche.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Tending twine Tuesday
Rotowire
Greaves will protect the home crease in Tuesday's preseason game versus the Capitals, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.
Greaves turned in an excellent performance in his last start of the preseason Wednesday, making 24 saves on 25 shots in a 4-1 win over Pittsburgh. This will be the 24-year-old netminder's third appearance in exhibition play, and considering Columbus has only one tune-up game left after Tuesday's matchup, this could be the last action Greaves sees until the start of the regular season.
