The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed goaltender Jet Greaves to a three-year, $15 million contract ($5 million AAV) through the 2028-29 season, club President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Don Waddell announced today.
"Jet is a high-character, talented and athletic goaltender who has become an important part of our hockey club," said Waddell. "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 the fifth goaltender in franchise history to win 25 games in a season in 2025-26 after finishing 26-19-9 with a 2.60 goals-against average (GAA), .908 save percentage (SV%) and two shutouts (SO) in 55 contests. He ranked sixth-T among NHL goaltenders in save percentage and seventh in goals-against average (min. 40 GP), minutes played (3,276:06) and saves (1,397).
The 6-0, 188-pound netminder has posted a 36-28-11 record with a 2.61 GAA, .913 SV% and four shutouts in 76 career appearances with the Blue Jackets 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.
A native of Cambridge, Ontario, Greaves posted an 82-51-17 record with a 2.87 GAA, .909 SV% and seven shutouts in 158 career American Hockey League games with the Cleveland Monsters from 2021-25.
