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.

Jones has appeared in only seven of the Oilers' 16 games this season.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old blueliner has been in street clothes for the last five contests. Jones has one assist, seven shots on goal, five blocked shots and a minus-1 rating in seven outings. The Oilers are carrying nine defensemen on their roster, but they'd need to dress seven blueliners in a game to give Jones a decent shot of breaking into the lineup. It'll be even tougher for the Texas native to play when Ethan Bear returns from a head injury.

Jones had an assist but went minus-2 in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Jones helped out on Adam Larsson's third-period tally that brought the Oilers within a goal. Despite being listed as the second pairing, Jones and Larsson saw the least ice time among the Oilers' blueliners. The 23-year-old Jones is expected to be a full-time player in the lineup, but he'll need to be better defensively than he was Wednesday to avoid moving down the depth chart.

According to Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic, Jones (undisclosed) was on the ice for pregame warmups, but he didn't participate in line rushes, which suggests he'll be a healthy scratch for Saturday's Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

It will likely take an injury for Jones to crack the Oilers' lineup during the playoffs. The 23-year-old rookie picked up nine points while averaging just 14:08 of ice time per contest in 43 top-level contests during the regular season.

Jones picked up an injury that caused him to miss Tuesday's exhibition clash with Calgary, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Dave Tippett described Jones as being "nicked up," so it sounds like the defenseman's injury isn't too serious. Even if cleared to play against Chicago on Saturday, the youngster could struggle to break into the lineup over Ethan Bear or Matt Benning.

Jones (undisclosed) took the ice for practice Friday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones missed the first four days of training camp after being deemed "unfit to practice" Monday, but his presence on the ice Friday bodes well for his availability for the playoffs. The 23-year-old American emerged as a solid bottom-pairing defender during the second half of the regular season, finishing the campaign with nine points while averaging 14:08 of ice time per contest in 43 top-level appearances.
