Jones will undergo surgery on his right ankle Monday, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has already been ruled out indefinitely and placed on IR, so he'll likely aim to return in March at the earliest. The 25-year-old blueliner is just one of the many casualties the Blue Jackets will have to overcome this year to secure a playoff spot. Markus Nutivaara is expected to work on the top pairing Monday versus Tampa Bay in Jones' stead.

Jones was designated for injured reserve and will be sidelined indefinitely due to an ankle injury.

Jones was injured in Saturday's matchup with Colorado, but not before he scored a power-play goal and registered four shots, three blocks and one hit in 23:35 of ice time. With the blueliner set to miss some time, the club promoted Gabriel Carlsson from AHL Cleveland, though Markus Nutivaara figures to see the biggest uptick in ice time, including slotting into a power-play role.

Jones had an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old played a team-high 25:52 in this one, the sixth straight game in which he's seen more than 25 minutes of ice time, and on the year Jones now has four goals and 19 points through 34 contests.

Jones collected an assist and two blocked shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Jones delivered the secondary assist on a Nick Foligno power-play goal in the second period. For the year, six of Jones' 15 points have come with the man advantage. The 25-year-old defenseman has added 53 shots on goal and 57 blocked shots in 25 appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Jones struck in the second period for his second goal of the season and first since Oct. 19, ending a 13-game goal drought. The 25-year-old has points in five of his last seven games, accounting for six points in that time. Jones' shooting percentage (2.2) is his lowest since joining Columbus in 2015-16. If he can prop that up a bit, he should be a safe bet to land somewhere between 40 and 50 points once again.
