Jones logged an assist, two shots on goal, five blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was in the lineup for a second straight game with Cale Makar (lower body) out. The helper was Jones' first point since Nov. 30. Prior to Makar's absence, Jones had been passed on the depth chart by Sam Malinski. For the season, Jones has three helpers, 12 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 16 hits and a plus-6 rating over 14 appearances, playing mainly on the third pairing when he checks into the lineup.

Jones had two shots on net, two blocked shots and two hits over 11:05 of ice time in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
Jones, who had been a healthy scratch the previous four games, stepped in for the unavailable Cale Makar (lower body). He was called up mid-November when Colorado dealt with missing bodies on defense and played steadily before the recent four-game stretch of scratches. The Avalanche are also getting a look at Sam Malinski, who has four points in seven games. Jones could get another opportunity Sunday, when the Avs complete a back-to-back set at home against the Sharks.

Jones had an assist, two penalty minutes, three blocked shots and two hits over 13:59 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Jones dumped a puck in the Coyotes' end along the boards and watched Miles Wood reach it first then go straight to the net to put Colorado up 2-1. It was Jones' second assist in nine games since being called up. Later in the same period, he was in the box for interference when Arizona tied the game just 11 seconds into the power play. The third-pair defenseman has 11 hits, 13 blocks and is plus-5 since coming up from the AHL. Jones should continue to start regularly until Samuel Girard (personal) is ready to return.

Jones, who has appeared in six consecutive games, logged 9:42 of ice time in Friday's 3-2 win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was in the lineup initially as a fill-in for Josh Manson and now he's been a replacement for Samuel Girard, who is away from the team indefinitely. It looks like the Avalanche will roll with Jones on defense instead of Kurtis MacDermid, who has shifted to playing more at forward. The 26-year-old Jones has one point, four shots, eight hits, six blocks and two PIM while averaging 13:14 on the third pairing.

Jones blocked two shots and administered three hits over 12:09 of ice time in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Jones, who had been filling in for Josh Manson over the previous three games, remained on the active roster even though Manson returned. This time, Jones replaced Samuel Girard, who was held out for personal reasons. Jones has one assist, four shots on goal, seven hits and six blocked shots while averaging 13:25 TOI over four contests.

Jones had three shots on goal, two blocked shots and one hit over 13:25 of ice time in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was recalled from AHL Colorado for the second time within a week to fill in for an ailing Josh Manson (upper body). Jones has played the last two games, posting an assist, four shots, four hits and four blocks while seeing time on the third pair. The 26-year-old entered the season with 217 games of NHL experience, so he could make frequent appearances for the Avalanche when injuries strike.

Jones was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones picked up his first assist in an Avalanche uniform after being traded to the franchise just before the season started. Even with the point, the blueliner will be hard-pressed to see regular minutes with the club once Samuel Girard (undisclosed) and Josh Manson (undisclosed) return to action.

Jones logged an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Artturi Lehkonen (upper body) going on long-term injured reserve opened up some money for the Avalanche to remodel their defense. Jones and Sam Malinski were called up from AHL Colorado, replacing Samuel Girard and Josh Manson in the lineup for this contest. Jones was able to get a helper in his season debut by picking up the second assist on a Cale Makar tally in the third period. While he saw just 15:42 of ice time, Jones could have a chance to carve out a third-pairing role while with the big club.
