Jones was sent to AHL Colorado on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was recalled Tuesday as Cale Makar's (undisclosed) status was up in the air after he fell awkwardly into the boards Sunday in a loss to the Sabres. Makar was able to play, making Jones a healthy scratch. Jones had four assists in eight AHL games before his recall.

Jones was recalled by the Avalanche on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jones may be on hand for Wednesday's game versus St. Louis in case Cale Makar, who took an awkward spill into the boards during Sunday's loss to Buffalo but was able to finish the game, is unable to go. Jones has yet to crack the Avalanche's lineup this season after picking up 16 points through 73 games with the Blackhawks last year.

Colorado obtained Jones from Carolina on Tuesday in exchange for Callahan Burke.

EDGE Analysis

Jones compiled 12 points, 86 shots on goal, 118 blocked shots and 116 hits in 73 games with the Blackhawks last season. He will begin the 2023-24 campaign with AHL Colorado.

Jones was put on waivers by the Hurricanes on Friday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Jones played 73 contests with the Blackhawks last season, picking up four goals, 12 assists, 40 PIM, 116 hits and 118 blocked shots. Should he pass through waivers, Jones will likely be sent to the AHL, though it's unclear which club he'd play for in the minors since the Hurricanes do not currently have an affiliate.

Jones signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with Carolina on Thursday, according to PuckPedia.

EDGE Analysis

Jones had four goals, 16 points, 40 PIM, 116 hits and 118 blocks in 73 contests with Chicago last season. He became an unrestricted free agent after the Blackhawks declined to extend him a qualifying offer. Jones should be in the mix to serve as the Hurricanes' seventh defenseman.

Jones won't be qualified by the Blackhawks and will become a free agent Saturday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones posted 16 points in 73 games with the Blackhawks last season and even featured on the power play, so this is a notable departure. The defenseman should garner some interest on the open market as a bottom-four option.

Jones scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Jones put the Blackhawks ahead 2-1 in the third period. The defenseman has two goals and an assist over his last five contests, and he's up to 14 points, 70 shots on net, 101 hits, 95 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 60 appearances this season. He could have some mild fantasy appeal while playing in a top-four role with power-play time, though doing so for a bad team makes him a massive risk in plus-minus.

Jones scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Jones had gone 14 games without a point since scoring Feb. 10 versus the Coyotes. The 25-year-old defenseman has taken on a top-four role alongside his older brother, Seth Jones, since the Blackhawks traded away multiple blueliners at the deadline. The younger Jones has three goals, nine helpers, a minus-13 rating, 66 shots on net, 94 hits, 91 blocked shots and 32 PIM through 56 outings this season.

Jones scored a goal on four shots and added four PIM in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Jones secured the win for the Blackhawks at 3:37 of overtime. This was his third career game-winning tally. The 25-year-old hasn't done much on offense lately, posting just two points in 22 contests since the start of December, but he's at least played in 14 straight games. He's up to two goals, 11 points, 49 shots on net, 26 PIM, 63 hits, 53 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 41 outings.

Jones produced an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Jones snapped an 18-game point drought with the helper -- his last assist was Nov. 27 versus the Jets. The 25-year-old has more or less played consistently in that time, missing three contests with a hip injury and three more as a healthy scratch. He's at 10 points, 41 shots on net, 56 hits, 50 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-15 rating through 37 outings.
