The Columbus Blue Jackets have announced that they have sent Jet Greaves back down to their AHL affiliate, the Cleveland Monsters.
Greaves was called up on Friday due to Elvis Merzlikins needing personal time off. However, with the Blue Jackets not playing again until Thursday, this move could indicate that Merzlikins will be ready to return. If he isn't, there's a chance Greaves will be recalled before Thursday’s game against the Florida Panthers.
Greaves has posted a 2-2-2 record with a 2.83 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage in six games with the Blue Jackets this season.
Last night, he battled hard, stopping 18 of 20 shots, but the team couldn’t find the back of the net one more time and fell short.
He will now report to the Monsters, but with no update on Merzlikins’ status, a return to the NHL later this week remains a possibility.
