Over his last five starts, Greaves has posted a 3-0-2 record with a 2.66 GAA and .901 save percentage. His recent performances include stopping 29 of 32 shots in a 4-3 shootout win over the Canadiens on Monday, making 31 saves on 32 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Rangers on Saturday, and stopping 25 of 29 shots in a 5-4 win over the Oilers last Thursday. Greaves signed a two-year, $1.625 million contract with the Blue Jackets in July of 2024.
