Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Facing Hurricanes
Rotowire
Greaves will patrol the home crease versus Carolina in Tuesday's season finale, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Greaves has gone 2-6-0 in limited NHL action this season, but he's posted a decent .906 save percentage behind a poor Blue Jackets team over that stretch. He'll try to secure his third career NHL victory in a rough home matchup with a red-hot Hurricanes squad that's won five straight games.
Greaves will get a road start Saturday versus the Predators, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
It'll be the fifth start in Columbus' last six games for Greaves because Daniil Tarasov (upper body) and Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) are both sidelined. Greaves has gone 1-3-0 despite a solid .923 save percentage in his last four outings. He will face a Nashville team averaging 3.23 goals per contest.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Busy in Thursday's loss
Rotowire
Greaves turned aside 42 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Panthers.
Matthew Tkachuk ripped a shot past Greaves just 47 seconds into the first period, and the 23-year-old netminder got little help the rest of the night as he faced a season-high 46 shots on net. Since his promotion in early April, Greaves has allowed 11 goals on 142 shots (.923 save percentage), but he has just a 3.02 GAA and 1-3-0 record to show for it as the Blue Jackets get ready to head back to the draft lottery.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Solid in Saturday's victory
Rotowire
Greaves allowed two goals on 39 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Flyers.
Greaves was the busier netminder on the night but consistently turned away the Flyers' attack, only allowing a goal in each of the final two frames. It was only the second NHL win for the 23-year-old goalie, but he was stellar with a .949 save percentage, the fourth time in five games that he was above .900 on the season. With Daniil Tarasov (upper body) and Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) injured, Greaves could be worth monitoring for more starts down the stretch.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Stuck with loss in relief
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 24 of 25 shots after replacing Daniil Tarasov (upper body) late in the first period Thursday, eventually getting tagged with the loss as the Blue Jackets fell 4-2 to the Islanders.
The 23-year-old netminder played well, but the only goal he allowed proved to be the game-winner off the stick of Noah Dobson early in the third period. With both Tarasov and Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) banged up and Columbus headed back to the draft lottery, Greaves could see a starter's workload over the final handful of games. In four NHL appearances this season, he's given up 11 goals on 132 shots (.917 save percentage.)

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Tough night in Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Greaves turned aside 26 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.
It was just one of those nights for the young goalie -- Pittsburgh's third goal, a Rickard Rakell power-play tally, was the result of a clearing attempt from behind the net by Erik Gudbranson that caromed past Greaves off the Pens forward's skate. Greaves' stay in the NHL could be a short one, as there's been no indication Elvis Merzlikins' upper-body injury is a serious one. Even if Merzlikins isn't ready to return Thursday for a home tilt against the Oilers, it will likely be Daniil Tarasov in the crease for the Jackets.

Greaves will patrol the road crease during Tuesday's matchup with the Penguins, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Greaves was solid in his last NHL appearance Dec. 10 against the Panthers, stopping 30 of 33 shots, but he still came away with a loss due to insufficient goal support from his teammates.

Florida's final two goals were scored into an empty net. Greaves played well and made some big saves to keep Columbus in the game on an afternoon in which the team was out-shot 36-19.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Excellent in season debut
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 41 of 43 shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
Greaves turned in a stellar performance in his first NHL contest of the season. He also received ample support from his offense to secure the win. The 22-year-old is in the NHL while Elvis Merzlikins (illness) and Daniil Tarasov (knee) work their way back. With no back-to-backs over the next week, Greaves is unlikely to see any more playing time during this stint with the big club.
