COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — The Columbus Blue Jackets and goaltender Jet Greaves have agreed on a three-year, $15 million contract through the 2028-29 season, team President and General Manager Don Waddell announced Thursday.
“Jet is a high-character, talented and athletic goaltender who has become an important part of our hockey club,” Waddell said in a statement. “Our intent always was to get a deal done to ensure he remains a Blue Jacket and we are thrilled that we were able to do so.”
Greaves, 25, became only the fifth goaltender in franchise history to win 25 games in a season in 2025-26, finishing 26-19-9 with a 2.60 goals-against average. He also recorded a .908 save percentage and two shutouts in 55 contests. He ranked tied for sixth among NHL goaltenders in save percentage and seventh in goals-against average, minutes played (3,276:06) and saves (1,397).
Greaves came on near the end of the 2024-25 season and almost helped the Blue Jackets earn a postseason berth. Overall, he’s posted a 36-28-11 record with a 2.61 GAA, .913 SV% and four shutouts in 76 career appearances with Columbus since making his NHL debut at the end of the 2022-23 campaign. He has gone 31-20-9 with a 2.44 GAA, .914 SV% and four shutouts in 61 games since Mar. 17, 2025, ranking third in the NHL in save percentage, fourth in goals-against average and sixth-T in shutouts among netminders with at least 50 games played during that span. Undrafted, he was originally signed as a free agent by Columbus on Feb. 20, 2022.
The Blue Jackets open the 2026-27 regular season on Oct. 1 against the Buffalo Sabres.
