Jones and a 2026 fourth-round pick were traded to the Panthers from the Blackhawks on Saturday in exchange for Spencer Knight and a conditional 2026 first-round pick.

EDGE Analysis

Per PuckPedia, the Blackhawks will use up their last salary retention spot for the season by retaining $2.5 million of Jones' $9.5 million cap hit. He is under contract for five more years after this one, so this is far more than just a rental for the Panthers. The good news is the Panthers will get a minutes-munching blueliner who can quarterback a power play. Jones should also benefit significantly from going to a Stanley Cup contender after playing for one of the worst teams in the league, so consider his fantasy stock on the rise. Jones is likely to be available to play Monday versus the Lightning.

Jones scored a power-play goal on two shots, added five hits and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Jones opened the scoring at 13:34 of the first period, but the Blackhawks' offense couldn't get the better of Karel Vejmelka again. The 30-year-old Jones has three points over seven games in February, and all of that offense has come on the power play. The defenseman is open to being traded, but he carries a $9.5 million cap hit for five years after this one, which is likely to be a big obstacle to getting any deal done. Don't expect a deal to happen -- Jones is likely to continue playing on the Blackhawks' top pairing and first power-play unit. He's at 27 points (15 on the power play), 78 shots on net, 83 blocked shots, 61 hits and a minus-16 rating through 41 appearances this season.

Jones scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, doled out two hits and blocked four shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Jones' pair of points came on the power play -- he and Connor Bedard assisted on each other's tallies. With two goals and four helpers over six outings since he missed a game due to an illness, Jones is in a groove. The 30-year-old defenseman is up to six goals, 26 points, 72 shots on net, 75 blocked shots, 54 hits and a minus-12 rating through 37 appearances. He's earned 14 of his points with the man advantage.

Jones had two assists Tuesday in a 4-1 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has nine points (two goals, seven assists) during a six-game personal point streak dating to Jan. 13. He missed one game with an illness during that stretch. Jones has really picked up his game this season and has 23 points, including 18 assists, in 33 games. And 12 of those points have come with the man advantage. Jones offers sneaky fantasy value, as long as you can accommodate his plus-minus risk (minus-9).

Jones scored a power-play goal on six shots, blocked three shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Jones missed Friday's game versus the Lightning due to an illness. He was back in action Sunday and saw his usual workload with 24:06 of ice time. He has also earned a point in his fifth straight outing (two goals, five assists). The 30-year-old blueliner is up to five goals, 21 points, 63 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 42 hits and a minus-12 rating through 32 appearances this season.

Jones (illness) will be in the lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Wild, per Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

EDGE Analysis

Jones should return to the top pairing and first power-play unit after missing Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to Tampa Bay. He has generated four goals, 20 points, 57 shots on net, 56 blocked shots and 40 hits across 31 outings this season. Jones will replace T.J. Brodie in Sunday's lineup.

Jones (illness) won't practice with Chicago on Saturday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones missed Friday's game, and it appears his status for Saturday night's matchup against the Wild is in question as well. Ethan Del Mastro figures to remain in the lineup if Jones can't suit up.

Jones (illness) won't play Friday versus the Lightning, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones will miss his first game since he returned from a broken foot in mid-December. The 30-year-old was on a roll with six points over his last four contests. T.J. Brodie is expected to rejoin the lineup in place of Jones for Friday's game, while Jones' next chance to play is Sunday against the Wild.

Jones recorded an even-strength goal and two power-play assists in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Jones had his most productive game of the season Saturday, tying his season high with three points. The blueliner extended his point streak to three games (one goal, four assists), and he's cracked the scoresheet in seven of his last 11 appearances. Over that 11-game stretch, Jones has tallied nine points (two goals, seven assists), four PIM, 17 shots, 12 hits and 15 blocked shots.

Jones managed an assist, two shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has four points and an even plus-minus rating over his last six games. The defenseman helped out on Connor Bedard's insurance tally in the third period. Jones is up to 14 points, 51 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 26 hits and a minus-8 rating through 25 appearances. He continues to be a key part of the Blackhawks' blue line, and while his offense hasn't been significant in 2024-25, he does enough across the board to help in many fantasy formats.
