Seth Jones On Injured Reserve<\/h2>\n

Jones suffered the injury in the Jackets 2-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche<\/a>. He scored the lone goal for the Jackets and had 23:35 minutes of ice time.<\/p>\n

So far this season, Jones has played in 56 games putting up six goals and 24 assists over that time. His possession numbers were 48.5 percent Corsi and a Relative Corsi of +0.4.<\/p>\n

Jones spent two and a half seasons with the Nashville Predators<\/a> before being acquired by the Blue Jackets via trade. He has a total of 60 goals and 198 assists for 258 career points in 524 career games. He was originally drafted fourth overall by the Predators in the 2013 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n

What This Means for the Future<\/h3>\n

Seth Jones now joins fellow defencemen Ryan Murray<\/a><\/strong> and Dean Kukan<\/a><\/strong> on the Blue Jackets injured reserve list. The 25-year-old defenceman is easily the Jackets best blue-liner and has been a big part of their successful season thus far with the Blue Jackets. However, Columbus is currently ranking 27th in the league in shots against this season with 29.8. Andrew Peeke<\/a><\/strong> will likely fill Jones’ spot on the top pairing in his absence. Peeke has one assist in eight games this season.<\/p>\n

Cam Atkinson<\/h3>\n

And now Cam Atkinson<\/strong><\/a> will not play tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a>.<\/p>\n
