Jones scored a goal and went plus-2 in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has a goal and three assists over six games since he reclaimed a third-pairing spot in the lineup. With Victor Mancini down at AHL Hartford, Jones has an easier time staying in the lineup over veteran Chad Ruhwedel. For the season, Jones has five points, nine shots on net, eight blocked shots, seven hits and a plus-10 rating across 11 appearances. He's over halfway to setting a new career high in points.

Jones notched an assist in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has a helper in each of the last two games, which should help him solidify a spot on the third pairing. He also received some power-play time in the blowout loss, which could give him a better path to fantasy production if it sticks. He has three assists, five shots on net, a plus-6 rating, six blocked shots and four hits over seven appearances. Jones continues to compete with Victor Mancini for a spot in the lineup.

Jones logged an assist and four blocked shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Jones started the year as a consistent part of the lineup, but with the Rangers fully healthy on the blue line, he's in competition with Victor Mancini for playing time. The 24-year-old Jones is up to two assists, a plus-5 rating, four shots on net, three hits and five blocked shots over six appearances this season. If the Rangers prioritize having an even righty-lefty split on their blue line, Jones may find himself out of the lineup frequently moving forward as the team's fourth left-handed defenseman.

Jones notched an assist in Monday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Jones' helper was his first point of the year, but he's been steady with a plus-3 rating through three contests. The 23-year-old defenseman has filled a spot on the third pairing to begin the year, but he may lose his place in the lineup once Ryan Lindgren (upper body) returns to action.

Jones dished out an assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Jones picked up his sixth helper of the season on Kaapo Kakko's third-period insurance goal. After spending the majority of the season in the press box as the team's seventh defenseman, Jones has dressed in each of the last six games with Jacob Trouba (lower body) sidelined. Jones has seen sheltered minutes, but the skilled defenseman has held his own with two assists and a plus-3 rating during this six-game stretch. With Ryan Lindgren (lower body) potentially poised to miss time as well after exiting Sunday's win, Jones is unlikely to leave the lineup anytime soon.

Jones watched Thursday's 5-1 win over the Devils from the press box and has been a healthy scratch since Feb. 5.
EDGE Analysis
Jones played in the Rangers' first game of the month as Jacob Trouba finished up a two-game suspension, but New York's seventh defenseman hasn't been called upon since that Feb. 5 win over the Avalanche. Jones remains stuck on five points in 17 appearances this season.

Jones scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 7-2 win over Ottawa. He finished plus-4.
EDGE Analysis
It was his first goal of the season, and it was memorable -- he finished a cross-slot pass, and the goal stood as the winner. Jones has excellent offensive instincts, but it's hard to crack the lineup with Adam Fox and Erik Gustafsson owning roles on PP1 and PP2, respectively.
