Jones is expected to get the starting nod at home versus Ottawa on Friday, per NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Regardless of Friday's outcome, Jones will finish the year having missed the 20-win mark for the third straight season. Additionally, the 32-year-old netminder is currently sporting a personal-worst 3.43 GAA and hasn't earned a shutout for the first time in his nine-year NHL career. Those numbers are unlikely to have the Flyers' brass clamoring to re-sign Jones in the offseason.
