Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Jet Greaves is experiencing challenges in his second full NHL season. In a recent 5-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, Greaves allowed five goals on 37 shots, bringing his record to 2-6-0 for the season. After a successful first season where he earned the starting role, Greaves has been inconsistent, with a goals-against average of 3.36 and an.880 save percentage. The team added veteran backup Cam Talbot, who has started the season strong, which may increase the pressure on Greaves to improve his performance quickly. Head coach Rick Bowness acknowledged Greaves needs to work on consistency but sees potential for improvement as the season progresses.
