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.

Rotowire
Greaves will start on the road versus the Kraken on Tuesday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Not only will the Blue Jackets break the goalie rotation, but Greaves will be starting for the second consecutive day as well.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Makes 19 saves in OT loss
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 19 of 24 shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers.
The Oilers have some elite offensive weapons, but still, fantasy managers can't be pleased with Greaves' performance in this game. The 24-year-old enjoyed a strong start to the season but has been faltering of late, with nine goals allowed on 49 shots faced over his previous two starts. The Blue Jackets have been alternating goalies all season long, and if that trend continues, Greaves could potentially make his next start in a rematch against the Oilers on Thursday.

Rotowire
Greaves will get the starting nod on the road against the Oilers on Monday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Greaves will look to bounce back from his disappointing last time out, in which he gave up four goals on 25 shots in a 5-1 defeat to the Flames.

Rotowire
Greaves allowed four goals on 25 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Flames. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Greaves struggled against the Flames, allowing two goals in the first 92 seconds of the game. That would be enough to send him to his fourth loss of the season (3-4-0. He has allowed more than three goals in a game just two times this season. The 24-year-old has maintained a 2.89 GAA and a .907 save percentage through seven starts. Elvis Merzlikins is likely to start Saturday in Vancouver, while Greaves' next outing could be Monday in Edmonton if the Blue Jackets maintain their current trend of alternating goalie starts.

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.

Rotowire

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.

Greaves will start Friday's home game against the Capitals, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Over Greaves' first three starts of the year, he's gone 1-2-0 with a 2.03 GAA and a .928 save percentage.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Burned by Devils on Monday
Rotowire
Greaves turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to New Jersey, with the Devils' final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The 24-year-old netminder played well, as both pucks to get past him came on Devils power plays, but he didn't get quite enough help from his teammates. Greaves is 0-2-0 in his first two starts of the season, but he's allowed just four goals on 59 shots as he continues the impressive form he showed at the end of 2024-25. Columbus is rolling with a timeshare in the crease for now between Elvis Merzlikins and Greaves, but it may not be long before the latter seizes the top job outright.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: In goal Monday
Rotowire
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: Loses close battle
Rotowire
Greaves rejected 29 of the 31 shots he saw in Thursday's 2-1 loss to Nashville.
While Greaves will start the 2025-26 campaign with a loss, he allowed just one goal through the first two periods of the contest before surrendering Ryan O'Reilly's game-winning tally on a Nashville power play early in the third. The 24-year-old Greaves now has a 0-1-0 record with a 2.04 GAA and a .935 save percentage. The young netminder showed elite flashes down the stretch last season, as he finished the year with a 7-2-2 record, 1.91 GAA and .938 save percentage in 11 appearances. Columbus head coach Dean Evason and the rest of the Blue Jackets' staff displayed their confidence in Greaves by giving him the starting nod Thursday over Elvis Merzlikins. However, the two goalies are expected to operate in a timeshare to open the season. Nonetheless, Greaves has breakout potential this season and is a top name to keep an eye on in fantasy. Thursday's performance is a strong building block for the 24-year-old moving forward.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Drawing Opening Night start
Rotowire
Greaves will serve as the starting goaltender for Thursday's Opening Night matchup on the road against Nashville, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Although Greaves saw limited playing time for the Blue Jackets last year, he had a stellar late-season performance that nearly propelled the team to the playoffs. Overall, he went 7-2-2 with a 1.91 GAA and .938 save percentage over 11 regular-season appearances, and he'll be rewarded with the Opening Night start to begin the 2025-26 campaign. Elvis Merzlikins should still see his fair share of playing time this season, but it seems as though Greaves will have ample opportunities to make an impact.

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.

Greaves will protect the home goal in Wednesday's preseason game versus the Penguins, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Greaves is set for his second preseason appearance after allowing one goal on 24 shots in his previous outing. That was a positive first audition in his attempt to secure one of the Blue Jackets' goaltending spots for the year, and he'll continue to battle with Elvis Merzlikins and Ivan Fedotov during the exhibition slate.
