ImpactGreaves got the start against Pittsburgh on Tuesday, stopping 26 of 31 shots en route to a 5-3 loss. He has a 2.88 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 37 outings with Cleveland this season. This move might mean Elvis Merzlikins (upper body) will be available Thursday versus Edmonton.

Ryan Graves - Two helpers against ColumbusGraves picked up two assists in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
ImpactBoth helpers came in the first period, giving the 28-year-old blueliner his first multi-point performance since Nov. 11. Graves hasn't scored a goal in 17 straight games, and his fantasy value comes from other categories -- on the season he has three goals and 13 points in 60 contests, but that offense comes with 61 hits, 119 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating.

Evgeni Malkin - Two-point effort TuesdayMalkin scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
ImpactRemarkably, it was the first multi-point performance since Jan. 8 for the future Hall of Famer. Malkin is beginning to show his age though, and since the beginning of February he's managed two goals and eight points over 14 games -- solid numbers for some, but well below the 37-year-old's career standards.

Reilly Smith - Reaches 500 career pointsSmith produced a goal and two assists in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
ImpactWith his helper on an Evgeni Malkin goal late in the first period, Smith reached the 500-point plateau for his career. The multi-point performance was his first since Dec. 23, but the 32-year-old winger has been a fairly reliable contributor for the Penguins in a top-six role of late, collecting two goals and eight points over the last 10 games.
