CLEVELAND - The AHL's Cleveland Monsters, top affiliate of the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets, announced Sunday that the Blue Jackets added goaltender Jet Greaves to the club's roster on emergency recall from the Monsters while Cleveland recalled net-minder Pavel Cajan from the ECHL's Cincinnati Cyclones. In three appearances for Columbus this season, Greaves went 1-2-0 with a 3.38 goals-against average (GAA) and .907 save percentage (S%). In 42 appearances for the Monsters, Greaves went 27-12-4 with one shutout, a 3.00 GAA and .907 S%. Cajan went 6-7-3 with one shutout, a 3.45 GAA and .899 S% in 18 appearances for Cleveland this season adding a record of 3-3-2 with one shutout, a 2.97 GAA and .908 S% in eight combined ECHL appearances this season, six for Cincinnati and two for the Kalamazoo Wings.

A 6'0", 191 lb. left-catching native of Cambridge, ON, Greaves, 23, went 1-3-0 with a 3.30 GAA and a .917 S% in four career appearances for Columbus spanning parts of two seasons from 2022-24. In 115 career AHL appearances, all for Cleveland, spanning parts of three seasons from 2021-24, Greaves went 58-40-11 with four shutouts, a 2.99 GAA, and a .904 S%.
