Tyutin (lower body) will play Friday against the Sabres.

After missing the Blue Jackets' previous two games with the injury, Tyutin was able to convince coach Todd Richards he was ready to play by participating fully in the team's morning skate. Tyutin will skate next to Dalton Prout on the third defensive pairing, replacing Justin Falk.
