Greaves, 23, has posted a 3-7-0 record with a 3.44 goals-against average (GAA) and a .912 save percentage (SV%) in 10 career games with Columbus since his NHL debut on April 4 2023 at Toronto. The 6-0, 190-pound netminder has also gone 69-44-13 with a 2.99 GAA, .905 SV% and five shutouts in 133 AHL games with the Monsters since making his professional debut in 2021-2022.
