Jones (wrist) was activated from long-term injured reserve Wednesday, per PuckPedia.

EDGE Analysis

This is another sign pointing toward Jones making his Blackhawks debut Wednesday versus the Kraken. The 24-year-old will likely displace Erik Gustafsson or Riley Stillman from the third pairing if he does end up playing Wednesday. At this point, it's safe to consider him healthy going forward, though he's unlikely to score enough to make an impact in fantasy.

Jones (wrist) will be a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Seattle, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Jones will take the ice for pre-game warmups is a pretty good indication he'll be in action Wednesday. Additionally, the blueliner will need to be activated off injured reserve in order to play. If he does suit up, Jones could bounce Erik Gustafsson or Riley Stillman from a spot in the lineup.

Jones (wrist) was moved to long-term injured reserve Monday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is simply a paper move for Chicago's cap space as Jones was already expected to miss six weeks after straining his wrist. The 24-year-old blueliner will compete for a bottom-four role when he returns but could be a healthy scratch more often than not.

Jones will likely miss six weeks with a left wrist strain.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago will be without the defenseman for at least the first month of the regular season as his wrist heals. Jones wasn't necessarily expected to be a daily staple in the defense corps to start the season, and missing extended time could set him back further.

Jones missed practice Wednesday due to a sore left wrist, Carter Baum of the Blackhawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones' injury, combined with that of Wyatt Kalynuk (ankle), will serve to stretch the Hawks' blue line with Opening Night just a week away. Even if Jones is cleared to play ahead of the Oct. 13 matchup with Colorado, he may have to watch from the press box as a healthy scratch periodically in favor of Calvin de Haan and Nicolas Beaudin.

Jones was traded by the Oilers to the Blackhawks, along with a third-round draft pick, for Duncan Keith on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones hasn't done much offensively in parts of three NHL campaigns, producing just 19 points across 93 games from 2018-21. The 24-year-old Texas native also received a career-low 13:36 of average ice time last year, so his fantasy needle is pointing down as he looks set to battle for a bottom-pairing spot on the Chicago blue line come September.

Jones produced an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Jones helped out on a Dominik Kahun goal in the second period. The 23-year-old Jones has split time with William Lagesson while Kris Russell (lower body) has been out. In 32 contests this year, Jones has four helpers, 23 shots on net, 27 hits and 35 blocked shots in a third-pairing role.

Jones notched an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Jones made a heads-up pass to Connor McDavid, and the latter scored on another strong individual effort. The helper was Jones' second point in eight games in April. The 23-year-old blueliner has just three assists, 19 shots on net, 17 hits and 28 blocked shots in 25 contests overall. He has played in a highly limited third-pairing role.

Jones recorded an assist and two hits in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has played the last four games for the Oilers, and he finally got on the scoresheet Thursday. His assist on Devin Shore's third-period tally snapped a 19-game point drought. Jones has only two helpers, 16 shots on net and 25 blocked shots in 21 contests, but he's seemingly surpassed William Lagesson on the depth chart for a third-pairing role.

Jones has not gotten on the scoresheet since Opening Night, a span of 16 appearances.

EDGE Analysis

In that stretch, Jones has sat out of 17 games. He's remained on the Oilers' active roster, but he's frequently been a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old has added 18 blocked shots, 14 shots on net and a minus-3 rating in 17 outings. Jones has yet to establish himself as a full-time NHLer -- instead, William Lagesson has found frequent playing time on the second pairing in 2020-21 when healthy.
