Episode Details

Jet Greaves is poised to anchor the Columbus Blue Jackets’ net this season, with a projected 30 wins and a stellar 2.52 GAA, after a breakout year that saw him rank third in goals saved above average. His long-term future is tied to an upcoming arbitration hearing, but the team’s intent is clear: lock him down. Backup Elvis Merzlikins, who struggled last season with a 3.44 GAA, is expected to see more ice time with the expanded 84-game schedule, with hopes he can rebound to his earlier form. If both goalies stay healthy and perform, the Jackets could hit 42 wins — enough for a wild-card spot — ending their six-year playoff drought. They open at home Oct. 1 against Buffalo, and their season hinges on goaltending fire from day one.
