Defencemen Nathan Beaulieu, Ville Heinola, Logan Stanley and forward Kristian Reichel were placed in the protocol Tuesday, one day after forward Nikolaj Ehlers joined the list.

Forward Jansen Harkins, defenceman Dylan DeMelo, goalie Arvid Holm and video coach Matt Prefontaine were added to the protocol last week.

The Jets are scheduled to visit the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday.
