Jet Greaves' impressive play between the pipes has some ready to anoint him as the Jackets' primary goalie.
State of play: The 24-year-old played sporadically over three previous seasons before getting his chance to shine this year.
He's given up the same number of goals as fellow Columbus netminder Elvis Merzļikins, despite having played 311 more minutes on the ice this season.
Get to know the Canadian goalie:
🥋 About that name … His full name is Calvin Jet Greaves, named after martial artist Jet Li.
🥊 He's an underdog. Considered undersized at just 6 feet tall, Greaves wasn't drafted and earned his way to Columbus through hockey's minor leagues.
✨ Like Glinda, he's popular: "He's a hard-working young man, but he's such a good person," former head coach Pascal Vincent said after Greaves' first NHL victory in 2023.
"He's the kind of guy that if you have an average day and you're around Jet, you feel better all of a sudden. Everybody is cheering for him. I'm really happy for him."
