Jones notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has a point in each of the last two games after coming up empty in his first two contests back from a broken foot. The 30-year-old defenseman is up to 12 points (six on the power play), 43 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 23 hits and a minus-10 rating through 21 appearances. Jones can be a multi-category force in fantasy, but he will weigh down a manager's plus-minus rating by playing big minutes on a defensively suspect team.

Jones scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Jones tallied in the third period to cut the deficit to two goals, but the Blackhawks got no closer. This was his third game back from a broken foot, and he's added three shots on net, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in that span. Jones has the potential to put up plenty of points, shots and blocks, but he doesn't add as many hits or PIM and will likely carry a terrible plus-minus rating. His fantasy utility will depend on which categories you're considering.

Jones (foot) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones missed 16 games with the injury. The 30-year-old defenseman has two goals, eight assists, 38 shots on goal, 22 hits and 34 blocks across 17 appearances this season. He should return to the top power-play unit when the Blackhawks face Calgary on Saturday.

Jones (foot) is now considered day-to-day but won't play against Washington on Tuesday, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has been out of the lineup since Nov. 14 versus the Kraken, a stretch of 14 games on the shelf that appears to be nearing its end. In 17 games this year, the Texas-born defenseman has generated two goals and eight helpers, including five power-play points. Once given the all-clear, Jones should retake his spot with the man advantage in addition to eating up plenty of minutes on the blue line.

Head coach Luke Richardson said Wednesday that Jones (foot) is expected to miss approximately four weeks, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was placed on injured reserve Saturday after suffering a right foot injury on a blocked shot against Seattle on Wednesday, and he was already expected to spend more than the minimum amount of time on injured reserve. The 30-year-old will likely be unavailable until mid-December, while Nolan Allan, Alec Martinez and Alex Vlasic will likely take on increased roles until Jones is able to return.

Jones (foot) doesn't have a specific timeline to return but won't be ready when first eligible next Saturday versus the Flyers, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Without saying it outright, head coach Luke Richardson's update suggests Jones is somewhere in the week-to-week range. The Blackhawks will likely have to navigate without their top blueliner for the remainder of November. Look for Nolan Allan and Alec Martinez to take on increased minutes while Alex Vlasic figures to benefit from a spot on the top power-play unit.

Jones (foot) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
According to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times, Jones sustained a right foot injury on a blocked shot against Seattle on Wednesday. Jones' placement on IR will prevent him from playing in at least the next three games. He has registered two goals, eight assists, 38 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and 22 hits through 17 appearances this season. Due to Jones' absence, Nolan Allan will probably return to the lineup versus Vancouver on Saturday.

Jones scored a power-play goal and blocked four shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has a goal and an assist over his last two outings as he bounces back from a four-game slump. The defenseman's second-period tally Sunday stood as the game-winner. Jones is up to two goals, nine points (five on the power play), 31 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 13 contests. He's playing well in a top-pairing role and is on pace to surpass the 40-point mark for the first time in three years.

Jones recorded an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Jones started the year strong, but some of the shine has started to come off after a four-game slump. He snapped that dry spell by helping out on Tyler Bertuzzi's game-tying goal in the final minute of regulation. Jones is up to eight points, 30 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, nine hits, six PIM and a minus-2 rating over 12 appearances this season. While his offense may falter at times, Jones is a lock to see huge minutes, giving him plenty of chances to rack up non-scoring production.
