Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Stomped by Mammoth power play
Rotowire
Greaves turned aside 27 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Utah.
Three of the Mammoth's goals came on power plays, giving Greaves little chance to keep the Blue Jackets in the contest. The 25-year-old netminder has been beaten seven times on 57 shots through his first two starts, going 1-1-0, but he has a firm hold on the top job in the Columbus crease with 39-year-old Cam Talbot as his backup.

Rotowire
Greaves is slated to start at home against Utah on Saturday, according to Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch.
Greaves opened the season by stopping 23 of 26 shots in a 6-3 win over Buffalo on Thursday. He posted a 26-19-9 record, a 2.60 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 55 regular-season appearances for Columbus in 2025-26. Greaves should receive most of the Blue Jackets' starts again, while Cam Talbot will act as the understudy.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Bags win in opener
Rotowire
Greaves made 23 saves in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Sabres.
The 25-year-old did get beaten twice in the second period while the outcome was still in doubt, but Greaves slammed the door on Buffalo in the third as Columbus pulled away. Greaves is locked into the No. 1 spot in the crease after a breakout 2025-26, but an unusual early-season schedule for the Blue Jackets that sees them get a five-day layoff next week before playing back-to-back sets each of the following two weekends will allow him to ease into the new campaign. He should be between the pipes Saturday for a home tilt against the Mammoth, however.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: First goalie off Thursday
Rotowire
Greaves was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports, indicating that he'll draw the Opening Night start at home against the Sabres.
Greaves saw a career-high workload during the 2025-26 campaign, making 55 regular-season appearances and going 26-19-9 with a 2.60 GAA and .908 save percentage. New backup goaltender Cam Talbot has also proven to be capable of handling a hefty workload, but Greaves should begin the regular season as the Blue Jackets' No. 1 netminder.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Perfect in Monday's preseason contest
Rotowire
Greaves turned aside all 16 shots he faced in Monday's 1-0 preseason shootout win over the Red Wings.
Greaves played the first 40 minutes of this game, while Pheonix Copley replaced him to start the third period. Elvis Merzlikins (shoulder) has no timeline for a return, so Greaves is poised to handle the majority of starts for Columbus in the early going, even with the addition of veteran Cam Talbot to the goaltending room.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: In goal Monday
Rotowire
Greaves will get the starting nod at home versus Detroit in Monday's preseason matchup, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
In addition to starting the first preseason game, Greaves is scheduled to be in the crease for the last one versus Detroit on Saturday while Cam Talbot starts the other two preseason contests. With Elvis Merzlikins (shoulder) on the shelf, the 25-year-old Greaves likely has the inside track on the No. 1 job, though he is far from secure in that spot.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Inks three-year deal
Rotowire
Greaves secured a three-year, $15 million contract with Columbus on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Greaves and the Jackets will avoid salary arbitration by agreeing to this new deal that represents a significant upgrade from his previous two-year, $1.63 million contract. Looking ahead to the 2026-27 campaign, the 25-year-old backstop will likely enter training camp as the presumptive No. 1 option, despite Elvis Merzlikins still being under contract.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Falls to Caps in finale
Rotowire
Greaves made 19 saves in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Washington.
He didn't get enough support to pick up a win in the season finale, but Greaves heads into the offseason as the clear top option in the Columbus crease. Over 55 outings, Greaves posted a 26-19-9 record with a 2.60 GAA and .908 save percentage. Greaves becomes a restricted free agent in the summer, and the Blue Jackets could make a strong push to lock the 25-year-old netminder up on a long-term deal.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Slated to start Tuesday
Rotowire
Greaves is expected to start at home against the Capitals on Tuesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Greaves holds a 26-18-9 record with a 2.61 GAA and a .908 save percentage across 54 appearances in 2025-26 -- a significant step up in workload from the 11 outings he logged with Columbus a season ago, when he posted a stellar 1.91 GAA and .938 save percentage. The 25-year-old netminder has developed into a reliable NHL starter after working his way up from the OHL and AHL without ever being drafted, spending parts of four seasons with the Cleveland Monsters before earning a full-time NHL role. He's a decent fantasy option for spot starts given his solid peripherals, though his win total and save percentage make him a streaming-tier option rather than a must-start in most formats.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Tagged with loss Sunday
Rotowire
Greaves stopped 19 of 22 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Bruins.
Greaves started on the second leg of this back-to-back set after allowing two goals on 22 shots in a 5-2 win over the Canadiens on Saturday, but he couldn't lead Columbus to victory this time around. Don't be surprised if Greaves also gets the starting nod for the regular-season finale against Washington on Tuesday, though his recent results have been inconsistent at best. Over his last five starts, Greaves has gone 2-3-0 with a 2.81 GAA and an .892 save percentage.

Rotowire
Greaves stopped 20 of 22 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

Greaves has been alternating wins and losses over his four starts, a stretch in which he's posted a 2.75 GAA with an .898 save percentage.

Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Solid performance in loss
Rotowire
Greaves turned aside 23 of 25 shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.
Greaves received limited help in Saturday's loss, as he kept the Blue Jackets' net tidy across the first 38 minutes of regulation before Winnipeg's dynamic duo of Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele willed the Jets narrowly past Columbus with two goals. Overall, Greaves now holds a 24-16-9 record, a 2.58 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 50 appearances this season. In his first full season in the NHL, the 25-year-old netminder has been relied upon heavily, as he became the league's 14th netminder to appear in 50-plus games this season. He's done incredibly well down the stretch with a 2.34 GAA and a .912 save percentage across his last 12 appearances, allowing more than three goals just twice in that span. With the Jackets just outside of a playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division, Greaves should play regularly down the stretch, giving him a high floor for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Rotowire
Greaves turned aside 35 of 38 shots in regulation and overtime and one of three shootout attempts in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Bruins.
The 25-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period as Columbus seemed to have the game well in hand with a 3-0 lead, but Boston stormed back to force OT with a rally that included two Pavel Zacha power-play tallies -- the second of which came with just 11 seconds left on the clock. Greaves has taken over the top spot in the Blue Jackets' crease as the team pushes for the playoffs, starting seven of the last nine games and not allowing more than three goals in any of them. Over that stretch, Greaves has produced a 4-2-1 record with a dazzling 1.83 GAA and .927 save percentage.
