Jones (lower body) will not play Friday against the Red Wings, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports. Jones suffered the lower-body injury in Thursday's win over the Bruins and didn't make enough progress overnight to ensure his availability for Friday's game. He's being listed as day-to-day, with Michael Ferland set to enter the lineup in his stead.

Jones left Thursday's game against the Bruins with a lower body injury and did not return. The injury limited Jones to just 2:44 of ice time, and he doesn't seem like a good bet to be ready for the second game of a back-to-back Friday in Detroit. He's been in a bit of a scoring slump lately, with his point-less streak now at seven games.

Jones ran his point streak to three games with an assist in Saturday's win over the Canucks.Jones set up Lance Bouma's third-period goal, which held up as the game-winner in the 3-2 victory. Going back to Jan. 31, Jones has notched three goals and four assists in seven games, affording him some relevance in deeper leagues.

Jones tallied a goal and assist in Monday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.The 30-year-old has two goals and three assists over his last five games, but his overall body of work for the season suggests fantasy owners should avoiding putting too much stock in his recent run. His half-point-per-game production through 41 games limits his value primarily to deeper formats.

Jones had two assists as the Flames won the battle of Alberta over Edmonton 4-2. Jones had been quiet of late as the helpers were his first points in six games, then again, Jones isn't on the team to light the lamp, but rather to provide the intangibles that NHL teams need to win games.

Jones dished an assist for the third straight game in Saturday's 1-0 win against the Canucks. Jones has 13 points in 30 games this season, but his scoring has always come in bunches. If you're desperate for a spot-start in a deeper league, Jones is likely to be available.

Jones recorded a goal Thursday in a 4-3 losing effort against Buffalo. Jones has played well in December, with two goals and two assists in five games. He has had a couple good scoring spurts this season, and has nine points in 17 games.

Jones (upper body) was activated from injured reserve and will play Wednesday versus the Sharks, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet.ca reports. The Flames opened up a roster spot for Jones by waiving Devin Setoguchi, but since he wouldn't clear waivers until Thursday, the team will have to send another player to the minors prior to Wednesday's game. Jones, who had five points in 10 games, is expected to slot in on the top line next to Curtis Glencross and Sean Monahan.

Coach Bob Hartley said he expects Jones (upper body) back in the lineup Wednesday versus the Sharks, Randy Sportak of the Calgary Sun reports. After he was able to practice fully Monday, it looked like Jones might be an option for Tuesday's game against the Ducks, but the Flames elected to give him an additional day of recovery time. The Flames will need to send one of their current skaters to the minors in order to activate Jones, who missed four games with the upper-body injury.

Jones (upper body) is nearing a return. Jones was a full participant at Monday's practice, and will travel with the team on their upcoming three game road trip. It's probably safest to consider him a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Ducks.
