Columbus Blue Jackets News

Greaves will start vs. Carolina on Tuesday.

Greaves played well in his most recent outing, saving 36 of 39 shots (.923 SV%), but allowed three unanswered goals in the third period of an eventual 4-3 shootout loss to the Boston Bruins. The 25-year-old Greaves has been exceptional in guiding the Blue Jackets into playoff contention, but they will need him at his best in the final weeks of the season in an ultra-tight Eastern Conference playoff race. In March, Greaves has a 2.20 GAA and a .916 SV% in 10 games (6-2-2). The Blue Jackets enter Tuesday's contest as +116 home underdogs against a Carolina Hurricanes team they defeated 5-1 two weeks ago.

Olivier (upper-body) left Sunday's game vs. Boston and did not return.

Olivier exited Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Boston Bruins early in the game after only 3:06 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old hard-hitting forward exited the game after a fight, adding to his team-leading 101 penalty minutes. Olivier's status remains unclear, but an update should be provided before Columbus returns to action on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes.
