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.

Jones was put on waivers by Minnesota on Thursday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has no points, 15 shots and 47 hits in 19 appearances with the Wild this season. Normally, players put on waivers are reassigned to the minors if they go unclaimed, but that won't immediately happen in this case. Jones is still expected to remain with the team and play Thursday in Columbus, per Michael Russo of The Athletic. However, Jones clearing waivers gives the Wild the flexibility to send him to the minors later should they need to free a roster spot. Minnesota currently has Jonas Brodin (lower body), Vinnie Hinostroza (lower body), Daemon Hunt (undisclosed), Jake Middleton (upper body) and Mats Zuccarello (upper body) all on injured reserve.

Jones was a healthy scratch for Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Jones had played in the previous seven contests amid a rough stretch of injuries for the Wild. His exit coincided with the return of Vladimir Tarasenko (lower body). With Marco Rossi (lower body) also getting closer to a return, Jones' time on the NHL roster could be nearing an end. However, he will require waivers to be reassigned to AHL Iowa, as he has played 13 games since he was last waived, more than the limit of 10 games or 30 days. He has no points, a minus-5 rating, 11 shots on net and 28 hits this season.

Jones was recalled from AHL Iowa on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jones' promotion to the NHL roster doesn't guarantee he will be in the lineup versus Dallas on Tuesday. If he does make it into the lineup, it figures to be in a fourth-line role at the expense of Danila Yurov or Liam Ohgren. In 26 regular-season outings with Minnesota last year, Jones failed to register a point while producing 24 shots, 51 hits and 10 PIM.

Jones was placed on waivers Monday with the purpose of sending him to AHL Iowa.

EDGE Analysis

Jones notched 13 goals and 36 points in 49 games with Minnesota's top minor-league affiliate during the 2024-25 regular season. However, he didn't pick up a point in 26 NHL regular-season outings while contributing 51 hits.
