Released from PTO The Maple Leafs released Gillies from his PTO on Thursday.

Impact The 30-year-old netminder did not see any action in preseason games with the Maple Leafs. Gillies did not play at any level last season and it's looking as if he will not be able to catch on anywhere in North America again in 2024-25.

Agrees to professional tryout Gillies signed a professional tryout agreement with Toronto on Tuesday.

Impact Gillies has compiled a record of 8-16-3 with a 3.39 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 35 career NHL appearances for Calgary, St. Louis, New Jersey and Columbus. He will get a look during training camp, but securing a contract could be difficult after he didn't see any playing time during the 2023-24 season.

Skinner leads Sabres to 5-2 win over Blue Jackets

Jeff Skinner had a goal and two assists, lifting the Buffalo Sabres to a 5-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets in the season finale for both teams

Slated to start Friday Gillies is expected to guard the home crease against the Sabres on Friday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Gillies has appeared in two games with Columbus this year, during which he's surrendered six goals on 39 shots. He also has a 3.70 GAA and an .878 save percentage in 15 AHL contests with Tucson in 2022-23. Buffalo has the third-ranked offense with 3.56 goals per game this season.

Exits Friday's game Gillies (lower body) will not return against Buffalo on Friday.

Impact Gillies did not come back to the game to begin the third period after picking up a lower-body injury. He stopped 24 of 27 shots before being replaced by Michael Hutchinson. Gillies allowed nine goals on 66 shots in three NHL appearances this season.

APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Allows three in loss Gillies allowed three goals on 12 shots coming in relief in the Blue Jackets' 8-1 loss to the Devils on Thursday.

Impact After Michael Hutchinson got pulled early in the third period, Gillies did not fare much better, allowing three goals on just 12 shots. This was just Gilles' second appearance of the season, allowing three goals in both games. He should continue to serve as the backup until Elvis Merzlikins returns.

Recalled from minors Wednesday Gillies was called up from AHL Cleveland on Wednesday.

Impact Gillies has played in just one game for the Jackets this season, in which he made 24 saves in a winning effort over the Senators, and will now switch places with Jet Greaves, who was sent down in a corresponding move. As long as Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) remains unavailable, the Jackets will likely continue to rotate their netminders to give everybody in the organization a look.

Sent down Gillies was assigned to AHL Cleveland on Monday.

Impact The Blue Jackets brought up netminder Jet Greaves from the minors in a corresponding move. Gillies made his Columbus debut Sunday, stopping 24 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over Ottawa.

Tending twine Sunday Gillies will get the starting nod at home against Ottawa on Sunday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Gillies is set to make his season debut Sunday. He posted an unsightly .887 save percentage and 3.70 GAA in 20 games with the Blues and Devils during the 2021-22 campaign. This season, he's registered an .878 save percentage at the AHL level.

Earns win in season debut Gillies stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

Impact Gillies struggled early in his first outing of the season, allowing three goals in the first period. However, he'd settle down from there, blanking Ottawa over the final two frames en route to a 4-3 overtime victory. The 29-year-old netminder went 3-10-2 last season with an .887 save percentage last season in 20 appearances between St. Louis and New Jersey. Gillies should continue to backup Michael Hutchinson while Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) is sidelined.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Traded to Columbus Gillies was traded from Arizona to the Blue Jackets in exchange for Jakub Voracek and a 2023 sixth-round pick Thursday.

Impact The Blue Jackets traded Joonas Korpisalo to the Kings on Wednesday, and although Jonathan Quick was included in the return, Columbus is expected to try and flip Quick to a contender prior to Friday's trade deadline, so the team was in need of organizational depth at goaltender, leading to Thursday's acquisition of Gillies. Gillies hasn't appeared in an NHL contest this season, and even if Quick ends up getting moved, Gillies will likely stick with AHL Cleveland for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign.
