Status report
Greiss will make his first start in four games. … Bortuzzo goes in for the defenseman Rosen. … Tarasov was recalled on an emergency basis from Cleveland of the American Hockey League on Friday after Merzlikins, a goalie, returned to his native Latvia to be with his seriously ill grandmother. … Hutchinson will make his first start for Columbus since the goalie was acquired in a trade with the Vegas Golden Knights on March 2. … The Blue Jackets will use the same skaters from the 5-4 overtime loss at the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday.
