The way things are going in Columbus tonight, the Blue Jackets might want to ensconce themselves in bubble wrap.

The Jackets lost a pair of defensemen -- Dalton Prout and Fedor Tyutin -- during Monday night’s game versus the Jets, and are now without forward Derek MacKenzie -- leaving Columbus with just 15 healthy skaters.

Prout suffered an upper-body injury after his first shift, playing just 50 seconds total, before being shut down for the night. McKenzie suffered a lower-body injury a short while later and was also ruled out for return, while Tyutin went to the room for repairs after having his mouth bloodied on a James Wright follow-through.

There’s no word yet on whether Tyutin will come back.

As a result of these injuries, Columbus is now rolling with just two defensive pairs -- Ryan Murray-David Savard and Jack Johnson-Nikita Nikitin -- and trailing 1-0 after Jets forward Mark Scheifele scored his fourth of the season with six minutes to go in the second period.

Updated: Tyutin returned to the game, scoring a goal in the third period.
