Severson is a surprise scratch on Tuesday, as the Jackets did not announce his absence prior to warmups. Dysin Mayo will draw into the lineup in his place.

With new head coach Rick Bowness behind the bench for the Blue Jackets, they will turn to Greaves to tend the twine on Tuesday against the Calgary Flames.

He has a 2.71 GAA and .908 SV% in 31 games this season (13-12-6). The Blue Jackets enter Tuesday's contest as -135 home favorites against a Flames team that has scored just five combined goals in their last four games (1-3-0).
