Jones turned aside 26 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Tampa Bay jumped out to a 2-0 lead before seven minutes had elapsed in the first period and built a 5-1 lead before the second intermission, and Toronto's late rally ended up falling short. This could be Jones' last appearance for the Maple Leafs -- the 34-year-old netminder will be a free agent in the offseason, and the team is more likely to bring back Ilya Samsonov to pair with Joseph Woll. Jones went 11-8-1 during his season in blue and white with a 2.87 GAA and .902 save percentage over 22 outings, numbers that should be good enough to earn him an offer from a team in need of a veteran backup in the crease.

Jones is expected to start on the road against Tampa Bay on Wednesday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones is making his first appearance since March 23. He has an 11-7-1 record, 2.70 GAA and .908 save percentage in 21 contests this season. The Lightning, who rank fifth offensively with 3.48 goals per game, figure to be a challenging adversary for the netminder, unless they decide to rest a number of their key players for the meaningless finale.

Jones stopped five shots in a 6-3 win over Edmonton on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones entered Saturday's contest with just a bit more than three minutes left after Ilya Samsonov suffered some kind of lower-body injury. Jones was immediately pelted by the Oilers, who had pulled their netminder for the extra attacker. The 34-year-old was sharp, and he also got help from his post. Joseph Woll is slated to start Sunday, so Jones will likely act as his backup until Samsonov returns.

Jones stopped 23 of 26 shots in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
The Maple Leafs jumped out to a 4-0 lead after the first period, giving Jones all the support he needed to secure his second win in a row. It was Toronto's sixth straight win, though Ilya Samsonov has claimed the No. 1 job once again in February. Jones is at 11-7-1 with a 2.71 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 20 outings. The Maple Leafs wrap up their road trip Saturday in Colorado, and with no back-to-back sets over the next week, it's unclear when Jones might get back between the pipes.

Jones is expected to play on the road against Vegas on Thursday, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has a 10-7-1 record, 2.69 GAA and .908 save percentage in 19 outings in 2023-24. He stopped 19 of 21 shots in a 9-2 victory over Anaheim in his last start Saturday. Vegas, which has a 19-8-2 record, will likely be a challenging adversary for Jones.

Jones stopped 19 of 21 shots in Saturday's 9-2 win over Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
Toronto's offense did most of the work Saturday, but Jones was sharp when he needed to be, allowing just a pair of goals en route to his first win since Jan. 18. The 34-year-old netminder improved to 10-7-1 with a .908 save percentage and 2.69 GAA on the season. He should continue to see occasional work behind Ilya Samsonov until Joseph Woll (ankle) is able to return.

Jones (undisclosed) will start Saturday at home versus the Ducks, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was unavailable for Toronto's last two contests, but the 34-year-old netminder will return to action Saturday against a Ducks team that's averaging just 2.57 goals per game. It'll be just the second start since Jan. 20 for Jones. He's 9-7-1 on the season with a .908 save percentage and 2.73 GAA.

Jones made 28 saves in a 5-3 loss to Ottawa on Saturday. He allowed four goals.
EDGE Analysis
It was Jones' first start since Jan. 20. He didn't play poorly -- the goals were all impressive. Claude Giroux corralled a rebound in front, waited for Jones to commit and scored on a backhand. Vladimir Tarasenko got the second goal on a breakaway and Shane Pinto tipped in a point shot. Josh Norris got the winner on a seeing-eye wrist shot that went top shelf. Jones will continue to see sporadic work until Joseph Woll (lower body) returns or the Leafs trade for a netminder.
