Jones potted a goal on three shots and went plus-3 in Friday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Jones tallied only 17 seconds after Leon Draisaitl opened the scoring in the first period. The 22-year-old defenseman has been limited to four points, 22 shots on goal and 30 blocked shots in 25 contests this season, almost exclusively in a bottom-pairing capacity. Jones should have a strong grip on his role while Kris Russell (concussion) is sidelined, but he's not likely to move the needle enough for fantasy consideration.

Jones signed a two-year contract extension worth $850,000 AAV with the Oilers on Wednesday, Sportsnets' Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was set to be a restricted free agent this summer, but the Oilers have locked him down well ahead of time. Jones has split time between the AHL and NHL this season, accruing 11 points over 14 games in the minors and three points over 23 games at the top level. He'll likely have to compete for a full-time NHL role next year depending on whether the Oilers sign their other four pending RFA defensemen (Darnell Nurse, William Lagesson, Ethan Bear and Matthew Benning).

Jones collected an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Monday's 6-4 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Jones skated only 9:09 in the contest, the fourth time he's failed to crack 10 minutes this season. The 22-year-old has just three assists, 23 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating in 20 games. Jones will likely return to AHL Bakersfield when Matt Benning (head) returns -- his long-term development would benefit from earning regular minutes at a lower level.

Jones posted an assist and three blocked shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Jones set up Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for a first-period goal. It's just the second assist of the year for Jones, who has added 20 blocks and 16 shots on goal in 17 games. He had six points in 17 outings last season -- the drop in the 22-year-old's production is likely caused by a five-minute drop in his ice time (19:48 in 2018-19 versus 14:20 in 2019-20).

Jones registered an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Jones had the primary helper on Zack Kassian's first goal of the game, which came in the second period. It was his first point of 2019-20 -- Jones has added 10 blocked shots, eight hits and five shots on goal in 10 contests. He's likely to bounce between the Oilers and AHL Bakersfield for much of the season. It's unlikely the 22-year-old makes a fantasy impact this year, but owners in dynasty formats may want to stash him.

The Oilers recalled Jones from AHL Bakersfield on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones only played in one game during his AHL stint and managed to notch a point. The 22-year-old will likely play Tuesday against the Hurricanes since the Oilers don't want to waste Jones' development with a night in the press box.

The Oilers assigned Jones to AHL Bakersfield on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones averaged 15:27 over nine NHL games, but he fired just four shots on net and didn't record a point. The Oilers brought up Joel Persson to serve as the seventh defenseman going forward, while Jones will look to build on the 10 points he's notched through 13 AHL games this year.

Jones has no points, a minus-2 rating and just three shots on goal in seven appearances this season.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has done reasonably well on defense, and he's shown physicality with five hits and eight blocked shots. The 22-year-old had six points in 17 games with the Oilers last season. Jones will likely return to AHL Bakersfield once Matt Benning (concussion) returns.

The Oilers recalled Jones from AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Edmonton placed Brandon Manning (hand) on injured reserve in a corresponding move, so Jones is likely in for an extended stay with the big club. The 22-year-old blueliner has racked up 10 points in 13 games with Bakersfield this campaign.

Jones was assigned to AHL Bakersfield on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones wasn't able to make enough of an impact in training camp, which led to him being one of 13 players reassigned Friday. The 22-year-old defenseman registered six points in 17 games with the Oilers last year, and added 29 points (six goals, 23 assists) in 50 contests with Bakersfield. He could earn a promotion should he show well in the minors, or if injuries ravage the Oilers' blue line.
