Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Jet Greaves has been named the National Hockey League’s First Star for the week ending April 13, it was announced Monday. Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid was named the Second Star, while Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck was selected Third Star.

 

Greaves is the second Blue Jackets player to garner Star of the Week accolades in 2024-25 after defenseman Zach Werenski was named First Star for November 18-24 and Third Star for December 23-29.

 

Greaves, 24, went 3-0-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average, .968 save percentage, and one shutout in three contests last week, stopping 90-of-93 shots faced. He led the league in wins (tied), goals-against average (tied), save percentage and shutouts (tied) among netminders with two or more games played.

 

He was added to the roster on emergency recall on April 10 and turned aside 39-of-41 shots faced to earn a 3-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres. The rookie netminder then helped the club sweep the top team in the Eastern Conference, the Washington Capitals, in a home-and-home series from April 12-13. He made 22 saves for his first career shutout in a 7-0 win at Nationwide Arena on April 12 before stopping 29-of-30 shots faced in a 4-1 win at Capital One Arena on April 13.

 

The 6-0, 190-pound native of Cambridge, Ontario improved to 5-2-2 with a 2.22 GAA, .926 SV% and one shutout in nine appearances with the Blue Jackets this season. He owns an 8-9-2 record with a 2.85 GAA and .918 SV% in 19 career games with Columbus since making his NHL debut on Apr. 4, 2023, at Toronto. He was originally signed by the Blue Jackets to a three-year, entry level contract on Feb. 20, 2022.
