Jones will start in goal Saturday in Minnesota, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has fallen well behind Aaron Dell in the pecking order but will get a turn in net Saturday on the second night of a back-to-back set. The veteran netminder has particularly struggled on the road, carrying a 3-9-2 record in addition to a 3.49 GAA and an .885 save percentage into the contest, so it may be a struggle against a Wild team averaging 3.24 goals per game on home ice.

Jones let in four goals on 24 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Canucks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones' playing time has dropped off since Aaron Dell's numbers have stabilized. Over his last four games, Jones has allowed 14 goals and posted a 0-3-1 record. He's at 13-17-2 with a 3.25 GAA and an .889 save percentage in 33 outings this season. Expect Dell to get the nod for Saturday's game against the Lightning.

Jones will get the home start Wednesday versus the Canucks, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Aaron Dell has seemingly taken over as the team's starting goalie, as he's started six of the last seven games. Jones will get a spot start and look to get back on track. The 30-year-old has lost nine of his last 10 games and posted an .878 save percentage in the process, and he'll draw a tough matchup in the Pacific Division leader.

Jones allowed four goals on 38 shots in a 4-0 loss to the Avalanche on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
This was always going to be a tough matchup for Jones, but with the Sharks unable to beat Philipp Grubauer at the other end, it became an impossible task. Jones dropped to 13-16-2 with a 3.22 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 32 games this season. Aaron Dell will likely be back in the crease Saturday in Vancouver.

Jones will defend the net Thursday versus the Avalanche in Denver, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has fallen clearly behind Aaron Dell in the goalie rotation, but Dell's rough Tuesday showing against the Coyotes has opened the door for Jones to get another turn. Unfortunately, it comes against an Avalanche club averaging 3.77 goals per game on home ice, leaving the veteran's fantasy upside relatively low.

Jones allowed five goals on 29 shots during Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
San Jose appeared to be on its way to a third straight win, but everything changed in the game's final minute when the Capitals scored twice to force overtime. Lars Eller beat Jones in the extra period to complete the wild comeback. Jones only has one win over his last nine games, is 13-15-1 on the year, and is simply not a reliable fantasy option in 2019-20. That said, considering the lack of options behind him, Jones will continue to see the lion's share of starts for the Sharks.

Jones will defend the road net Sunday versus the Capitals, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was solid in his last two starts, as he allowed just one goal in each contest and posted a .959 save percentage. However, Aaron Dell has started the last two games, including Saturday's matchup versus the Blue Jackets. The Capitals offer a tough task for Jones, as they rank fifth in the league with 3.50 goals per game.

Jones stopped 21 of 22 shots in a 2-0 loss to Detroit on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
That was a frustrating end to December for Jones, who went 1-7-0 during the month. However, it's at least encouraging that he allowed just one goal in each of his final two starts of the month and stopped 47 of 49 shots (.959 save percentage). It's the smallest of sample sizes, to be sure, but perhaps it's something Jones can build upon to start turning his season around.

Jones will defend the road net in Tuesday's game against the Red Wings, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Aaron Dell will start Thursday against the Penguins, and coach Bob Boughner said he'll "play it by ear" after that. Jones' performance in December warrants a goaltending battle, as he's posted a 1-6-0 record and an .873 save percentage. He'll be up against a slumping Red Wings team, which has lost six straight games and scored just 13 goals in that stretch.

Jones turned aside 26 of 27 shots in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
A Timo Meier hat trick supported Jones in the lopsided win, his first since Nov. 30 against the Coyotes. Jones had given up 23 goals in his previous six starts. The 29-year-old improved to 13-14-1 with a 3.21 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 29 games. Aaron Dell has recently put pressure on Jones for the No. 1 job in the crease -- interim head coach will have an interesting choice to make for Tuesday's game in Detroit.
