Nationwide Arena, Columbus, OH

Jet Greaves - Summoned from minorsGreaves was summoned from AHL Cleveland on Wednesday.

ImpactGreaves has a 3.09 GAA and an .899 save percentage in 12 appearances with Cleveland this season. The 22-year-old hasn't played with Columbus in 2023-24, but that might change soon. Elvis Merzlikins (illness) was put on injured reserve Wednesday, which leaves Greaves and Spencer Martin as the Blue Jackets' healthy goaltending options ahead of a road game against the Islanders on Thursday and a home contest versus the Blues on Friday. It wouldn't be surprising to see Greaves and Martin each start in one of those two games.

Nick Blankenburg - Promoted from AHLBlankenburg was recalled by the Blue Jackets on Wednesday.

ImpactColumbus is dealing with multiple injuries on the back end, prompting Blankenburg's promotion. The 25-year-old defender has picked up 11 points through 18 AHL appearances this year.

Elvis Merzlikins - Dealing with illnessMerzlikins has been placed on injured reserve and is expected to miss a week of action due to an illness.

ImpactWith Merzlikins sidelined, look for Spencer Martin to jump into the No.1 role for the Blue Jackets. Merzlikins, who's gone 6-8-4 while posting a 3.10 GAA and .910 save percentage through 19 games this season, will be eligible to return Dec. 14 against the Maple Leafs.

Emil Bemstrom - Up from AHLBemstrom was called up by Columbus on Wednesday.

ImpactBemstrom has 10 goals and 14 points in eight contests with AHL Cleveland this season. He's also recorded three markers and four points in 12 appearances with Columbus. Cole Sillinger (upper body) was placed on the injured reserve list in a corresponding move. Between Sillinger's injury and Eric Robinson being traded from the Blue Jackets to Buffalo on Wednesday, Bemstrom will likely draw into the lineup Thursday versus the Islanders.

Cole Sillinger - Moved to IRSillinger (upper body) was placed on the injured reserve list Wednesday.

ImpactSillinger has a goal and nine points in 24 contests in 2023-24. He hasn't played since last Wednesday, so this move is presumably retroactive to that date. If that's the case, then Sillinger can be activated whenever he's healthy, though Columbus probably wouldn't have made this move unless the 20-year-old was expected to at least miss one more game, which would be Thursday's contest against the Islanders. Emil Bemstrom, who was summoned from AHL Cleveland in a corresponding move, might play Thursday.

DECEMBER 6, 2023•ROTOWIRE

Adam Boqvist - Out four weeks with shoulder strainBoqvist is expected to miss four weeks with a shoulder strain and was consequently put on injured reserve Wednesday.

ImpactBoqvist has three assists, seven hits and 17 blocks in 13 games with the Blue Jackets this season. Blankenburg, who was called up from AHL Cleveland, will likely play regularly during Boqvist's absence.
