Jet Greaves News

Elvis Merzlikins again and again proved to be unreliable, allowing four or more goals in five of his last six games (2-3-1), resulting in Greaves returning to the crease on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 24-year-old Greaves has undoubtedly been the more reliable netminder for the Blue Jackets, posting a solid 2.71 GAA and .907 SV% in 17 games (7-5-5). He was stellar in his most recent outing, saving 36 of 37 shots (.973 SV%) in a 2-0 loss to the Washington Capitals. Still, the Blue Jackets enter Tuesday’s contest as +173 road underdogs against a Carolina Hurricanes team that has only scored one goal in three of their last four games (2-2-0).

The Blue Jackets have hovered around .500 all season, yet to assert dominance, but have managed to stay in games despite losing six of their last 10 (4-2-4). Greaves played well for the Blue Jackets on Wednesday, saving 22 of 24 shots (.917 SV%) in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and has become the go-to-guy between the pipes for the team. The 24-year-old goalie has a 2.74 GAA and .905 SV% in 15 games this season (7-4-4). The Blue Jackets enter Friday's contest as -132 home favorites against a Pittsburgh Penguins team that has lost seven of their last 10 (3-4-3).

Greaves has become the more-relied-upon option between the pipes for the Blue Jackets this season, and he will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 24-year-old goalie was excellent against the Maple Leafs in a 3-2 overtime win last week, saving 27 of 29 shots (.931 SV%). He has a 2.80 GAA and .904 SV% in 14 games this season (7-4-3). The Blue Jackets enter Wednesday's contest as -120 home favorites against a struggling Maple Leafs team that has lost seven of its last eight games (1-4-3).

Greaves has had a heavy workload lately for the Blue Jackets, starting five of their last six games, and will return to the crease on Thursday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 24-year-old Greaves saved 29 of 32 shots (.906 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 4-3 shootout win over the Montreal Canadiens. He has a 2.79 GAA and .904 SV% in 12 games this season (6-4-2). The Blue Jackets enter the action on Thursday as -111 road favorites against a Maple Leafs team that has several key injuries and has lost five of their last six (1-4-1).

For the fifth straight game, the front end of a back-to-back, the Blue Jackets will again turn to Greaves between the pipes. Greaves was excellent in his most recent game, saving 31 of 32 shots (.969 SV%), but fell short in a 2-1 shootout loss to the New York Rangers. The 24-year-old netminder has a 2.79 GAA and .904 SV% in 11 games this season (5-4-2). The Blue Jackets enter Monday's contest as -125 home favorites against a struggling Canadiens team riding a three-game losing skid (0-3-0).

Greaves just finished playing both ends of a back-to-back and will return to the crease on Thursday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 24-year-old Greaves was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 22 of 23 shots (.957 SV%) in a 2-1 shootout win over the Seattle Kraken. He has a 2.89 GAA and .901 SV% in nine games this season (4-4-1). The Blue Jackets enter Thursday's contest as slight -110 home favorites against an Oilers team that narrowly defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 in overtime last night.

Elvis Merzlikins was the expected starter on Tuesday, but instead it will be Greaves who gets the nod in both ends of the Blue Jackets' back-to-back. Given the fact that Greaves was tagged for five goals on 24 shots in last night's overtime loss to the Oilers, it's likely that Merzlikins fell victim to the illness floating around the Blue Jackets locker room. Greaves and the Blue Jackets enter action in Seattle on Tuesday at +105 on the money line.

The Blue Jackets have lost three straight (0-3-0) and hope to return to the win column on Monday with Greaves in the crease against the Edmonton Oilers. Greaves struggled in his most recent game, allowing four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Calgary Flames. The 24-year-old goalie has a 2.89 GAA and .907 SV% in seven games this season (3-4-0). The Blue Jackets enter Monday's contest as +146 road underdogs against an Oilers team that has lost six of its last eight games (2-3-3).

The Blues Jackets have received serviceable goaltending from both of their netminders this season, and will continue their rotation on Wednesday against the Calgary Flames, turning to Greaves for his seventh start of the season. The 24-year-old Greaves has played well in his first season as a full-time NHLer, posting a 2.67 GAA and .916 SV% in six games (3-3-0). The Blue Jackets are 7-5-0 through 12 games this season and enter Wednesday's contest as slight +101 road underdogs against a Flames team that has scored the fewest goals in the league (2.21 GF / GP).

The Blue Jackets have had an up-and-down start to the season with a 4-4-0 record, but have benefited from some solid goaltending in the process. The 24-year-old Greaves has been unable to replicate the elite 1.91 GAA and .938 SV% he had in 11 games with the Blue Jackets last season (7-2-2), but has remained serviceable when called upon, posting a 2.79 GAA and .903 SV% in four games (1-3-0). The Blue Jackets enter Tuesday's contest as +107 road underdogs against a Sabres team that is clicking offensively, outscoring their opposition 25-17 in their last six games (4-1-1).

The Blue Jackets won their previous game, 5-1 over the Dallas Stars, aided by a strong performance from Elvis Merzlikins, but they will continue their goalie rotation, turning to Greaves on Friday against the Washington Capitals. The 24-year-old Greaves has been excellent early in the 2025-26 season despite a losing 1-2-0 record, posting a stellar 2.04 GAA and .928 SV%. The Blue Jackets enter Friday's contest as slight +102 home underdogs against a Capitals team that has outscored its opponents 21-13 through seven games (5-2-0).

Greaves stopped 25 of 27 shots in Monday’s 3-2 loss to the Devils. Despite a strong start to the season (2.06 GAA, .932 SV%), he’s still searching for his first win (0-2-0).

The Blue Jackets have alternated goalies in their first two games of the season, a trend that will continue in game three on Monday against the New Jersey Devils, with Greaves tending the twine. Greaves was solid in his only outing this season, saving 30 of 32 shots (.938 SV%) in a 2-1 losing effort to the Nashville Predators. The 24-year-old netminder was excellent in limited action last season, posting a 1.91 GAA and .938 SV% in 11 appearances (7-2-2), and has an opportunity to play his way into a starting role with the Blue Jackets. Columbus enters Monday's contest as +113 home underdogs against New Jersey.
