Jones was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones spent just over a week with Minnesota, but he didn't appear in any games during his stint with the NHL club. He should see more consistent opportunities to contribute in the minors, where he's recorded five goals, 11 assists and 12 PIM over 18 appearances with Iowa this year.

Jones was recalled from AHL Iowa on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones will continue to provide depth for the Wild, as the team had only 12 forwards on the roster prior to calling him up. The 26-year-old has accounted for two points, 25 shots, 53 hits and a minus-10 rating over 26 appearances with the big club this season. It remains to be seen if he will be in the lineup Thursday in Colorado.

Jones logged three assists in AHL Iowa's 8-6 loss to Springfield on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has two goals and eight helpers over his last six AHL outings. For the season, he's at 16 points in 15 outings for Iowa, as well as two points in 26 games for Minnesota at the NHL level. Jones would likely be considered for a call-up if the injury bug bites the Wild again.

Jones scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Iowa's 3-2 win over Milwaukee on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has shuttled to and from Iowa frequently this season, as his presence has been needed as a depth forward in the NHL multiple times. He's done well at the AHL level, earning four goals and six assists over 11 contests. Jones also has two points in 26 NHL games, adding 53 hits and a minus-10 rating. He'll be in the AHL as long as the Wild stay relatively healthy at the NHL level.

Jones was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones could still be recalled prior to Saturday's matchup with the Panthers, assuming he suits up for AHL Iowa in Friday's Outdoor Classic against AHL Milwaukee. Even if the Ontario native is added back to the NHL roster, he will likely serve as a healthy scratch now that Joel Eriksson Ek is back in the lineup.

Jones scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Jones, a seventh-round pick of the Golden Knights in 2017, has finally joined the ranks of NHL scorers. He opened the scoring Saturday at 2:51 of the first period with his first career goal and point, coming in his 49th appearance. The 26-year-old has added 19 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-5 rating over 21 contests with the Wild this season. Jones looks to have a chance to play regularly as long as Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) is out.

Jones was recalled from AHL Iowa on Saturday, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was called up because Joel Eriksson Ek suffered an undisclosed injury against the Kraken on Thursday. Jones has played 48 NHL regular-season games in his career, including 20 contests this campaign, and has yet to pick up a point. He had three goals and three assists in eight AHL appearances before his recall.

Jones was assigned to AHL Iowa on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Minnesota activated Zach Bogosian (lower body) from injured reserve in a corresponding move. Jones hasn't earned a point in 20 NHL appearances this season while contributing 17 shots on goal, seven blocked shots and 47 hits. He has two assists in three AHL outings during the 2025-26 campaign.

Jones has been recalled from AHL Iowa by the Wild, the team announced Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was sent back to AHL Iowa on Friday but is quickly returning to the NHL club ahead of Sunday's contest against the Avalanche. Injuries to the Wild's forwards throughout the season have allowed him to spend more time in the NHL lineup than in the AHL this season, but he is still seeking his first career point. The 26-year-old likely won't draw into the lineup Sunday, barring some unexpected injury news for the Wild.

Jones was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones successfully cleared waivers, but unlike others who end up on the wire, it wasn't immediately clear if he'd be demoted after going unclaimed. He did play in Thursday's 5-2 victory over Columbus, recording two shots over 7:02 of ice time. His demotion also brings the Wild down to 11 healthy forwards on their active roster -- 10 if Marcus Johansson (lower body) can't play Saturday versus Edmonton. However, Minnesota has time to promote forwards before its upcoming game against the Oilers.
