Greaves will defend the home crease against the Canadiens on Monday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - Head coach Dean Evason suggested before Monday's matchup that Elvis Merzlikins could be dealing with an injury, so Greaves will draw the start in the Blue Jackets' final game before the NHL's Christmas break. Over his three appearances this season, Greaves has posted an 0-1-2 record, 3.30 GAA and .896 save percentage. |

Greaves was recalled by the Blue Jackets on an emergency basis Sunday. - Greaves has made three appearances for the Blue Jackets this year, posting an 0-1-2 record, 3.30 GAA and .896 save percentage. The team hasn't indicated that Elvis Merzlikins or Daniil Tarasov are dealing with injuries, so it's unclear whether Greaves will see any time in the net during his time with the NHL club. |

Greaves was loaned to AHL Cleveland on Wednesday. - Greaves spent the past week with the Blue Jackets. He was effective during his first start Thursday against the Capitals, turning aside 35 of 37 shots (.946 save percentage) in an overtime loss. However, he was less reliable during his subsequent two starts, posting a 0-1-1 record, 4.02 GAA and .862 save percentage against the Ducks and Lightning. The 25-year-old could rejoin the NHL club at some point since the Blue Jackets' other netminders haven't been particularly strong recently, but Elvis Merzlikins and Daniil Tarasov should see most of the playing time between the pipes for now. |

Greaves will patrol the road crease Tuesday against Tampa Bay, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site. - Greaves has lost both of his appearances in overtime this season, allowing six goals on 64 shots. The Ontario native is getting a shot at the No. 2 netminding gig due to Daniil Tarasov's struggles between the pipes. The 23-year-old Greaves will have a tough assignment Tuesday against a Lightning team that ranks first in the NHL with 4.00 goals per game. |

Greaves stopped 23 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks. - Making his second straight start since being recalled from AHL Cleveland, Greaves didn't get a lot of help from his defense, and Anaheim's OT winner came on an Alex Killorn breakaway. Elvis Merzlikins (3.06 GAA and .88 save percentage) and Daniil Tarasov (4.25 GAA and .857 save percentage) have had shaky starts to the season, so the door could be open for Greaves to work his way to the top of the Columbus depth chart if he can string together some good outings. So far so good for the 23-year-old netminder, who has allowed six goals on 64 shots since his promotion. |

Greaves will defend the home crease versus Anaheim on Saturday, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site. - Greaves was outstanding Thursday in a 2-1 overtime loss to Washington, stopping 35 shots in his first NHL game of the season. Anaheim sits 31st in the league with a measly 2.36 goals per game in 2024-25. |

Greaves made 35 saves in a 2-1 loss to Washington on Thursday. - It was a sharp performance from Greaves after he was called up earlier this week. There has been speculation that Greaves was auditioning for more playing time given the team's souring on Danill Tarasov. If that's the case, he made an impression. Strong opponent, strong game. |

Greaves was elevated from AHL Cleveland on Wednesday. - Greaves' promotion could be an indication that Elvis Merzlikins or Daniil Tarasov is dealing with an injury or illness ahead of Thursday's clash with the Capitals. In his nine appearances last year, the 23-year-old Greaves went 3-6-0 with a 3.49 GAA. He's been significantly better in the minors this year, going 8-4-2 with a 3.21 GAA and .902 save percentage. If there is an injury in the goalie tandem, Greaves could be pressed into service against Anaheim or Carolina on Saturday or Sunday, respectively. |

Greaves was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Saturday. - Greaves was up with the Blue Jackets under emergency conditions because Daniil Tarasov was unavailable for Friday's 5-2 win over Calgary due to an illness. Greaves served as Elvis Merzlikins' understudy for that victory. The 23-year-old Greaves' return to the minors suggests Tarasov is probably available for Sunday's tilt in Chicago, though there is still time for Columbus to recall a goaltender if that's not the case. |

Greaves was recalled by the Blue Jackets under emergency conditions Friday. - The fact that it's an emergency recall implies either Elvis Merzlikins or Daniil Tarasov is in danger of missing Friday's home game against Calgary. Greaves has a 3.23 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 11 appearances with AHL Cleveland in 2024-25. |

Greaves was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Monday. - Greaves' demotion ahead of Tuesday's clash with Toronto would seem to indicate that Elvis Merzlikins (upper body) will at least be healthy enough to serve as the backup against the Leafs. With youngster Daniil Tarasov having secured the No. 2 role in Columbus, it will take another injury or a trade of Merzlikins for Greaves to get another opportunity this season. |

Greaves was called up by Columbus on Wednesday. - Greaves has made one appearances with AHL Cleveland this year and had a difficult time, posting a 7.01 GAA and an .800 save percentage. He has a 3.44 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 10 career NHL regular-season games. His promotion to Columbus might indicate that the availability of Elvis Merzlikins or Daniil Tarasov is in question for Thursday's home contest against Buffalo, but at the moment, neither of the Blue Jackets' regular two goaltenders have a reported injury or illness. If either Merzlikins or Tarasov can't play Thursday, then Greaves will probably dress as the backup netminder. |

Greaves was sent down to AHL Cleveland on Saturday, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic. - Greaves is currently the third goaltender in the Columbus system as Elvis Merzlikins and Daniil Tarasov are ahead of him on the depth chart. Greaves appeared in nine NHL games in 2023-24, going 3-6-0 with a 3.49 GAA and a .908 save percentage as lowly Columbus failed to make the playoffs. He sparkled in 46 AHL appearances with Cleveland, winning 30 games. He should be the first goaltender recalled if there are any injuries to Merzlikins and/or Tarasov. |

Greaves will start on the road versus the Blues in Tuesday's preseason game, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. - Greaves allowed three goals on 15 shots in his previous start against the Sabres. The 23-year-old netminder is unlikely to make the Opening Night roster, and a poor performance Tuesday could lead to him being sent to AHL Cleveland. |

Greaves will defend the road net in Monday's preseason matchup against the Sabres, according to Joe Yerdon of Bleacher Report. - Greaves earned a 3-6-0 record with a 3.49 GAA and a .908 save percentage over nine regular-season contests with Columbus in 2023-24. He will probably begin the upcoming campaign in the minors because Elvis Merzlikins and Daniil Tarasov are expected to occupy the top two spots for the Blue Jackets on Opening Night. |

Greaves signed a two-year, $1.625 million contract with the Blue Jackets on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. - The first year of the deal is a two-way contract, while the second year is a one-way deal. Greaves will get $800,000 during the 2024-25 campaign, while he is in the NHL, and $825,000 the following season. Greaves was 3-6-0 with a 3.49 GAA and a .908 save percentage in nine NHL appearances in 2023-24. He will battle Elvis Merzlikins and Daniil Tarasov at training camp for a spot between the pipes for the Blue Jackets, but he could easily be sent down because of his two-way contract. |

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, with Daniil Tarasov (upper body) and Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) both sidelined. He'd gone 1-3-0 despite a solid .923 save percentage in his last four outings. Greaves will face a Nashville team averaging 3.23 goals per game. |

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. |

He stopped 28 of 32 shots en route to a 5-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday. Florida figures to be another difficult adversary for Greaves -- the Panthers are 23-13-2 at home. |

Greaves will draw the home start Saturday against the Flyers, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - Greaves stopped 24 of 25 shots in a loss Thursday against the Islanders after Daniil Tarasov (upper body) left with an injury. With both Tarasov and Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) sidelined, Greaves could be in for a significant workload down the stretch. Overall, he's 1-3-0 with a .917 save percentage and 3.04 GAA this season. |

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.) |

Greaves was recalled from AHL Cleveland on Sunday. - According to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site, Elvis Merzlikins skipped Sunday's practice for maintenance purposes.

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. He'll try to earn his second career NHL victory in a road matchup with a struggling Pittsburgh team that's lost three straight contests. |

Greaves is expected to start at home versus St. Louis on Friday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports. - Greaves was called up from AHL Cleveland on Wednesday because Elvis Merzlikins (illness) is unavailable. Greaves hasn't played in the NHL this season, but he does have a 3.09 GAA and an .899 save percentage in 12 contests with Cleveland. The Blues rank 24th offensively this year with 2.88 goals per game. |

Greaves was summoned from AHL Cleveland on Wednesday. - Greaves has a 3.09 GAA and an .899 save percentage in 12 appearances with Cleveland this season. The 22-year-old hasn't played with Columbus in 2023-24, but that might change soon. Elvis Merzlikins (illness) was put on injured reserve Wednesday, which leaves Greaves and Spencer Martin as the Blue Jackets' healthy goaltending options ahead of a road game against the Islanders on Thursday and a home contest versus the Blues on Friday. It wouldn't be surprising to see Greaves and Martin each start in one of those two games. |
