BEN JONES NEWS

Cedes spot in lineup Jones was a healthy scratch for Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres.

Impact Jones had played in the previous seven contests amid a rough stretch of injuries for the Wild. His exit coincided with the return of Vladimir Tarasenko (lower body). With Marco Rossi (lower body) also getting closer to a return, Jones' time on the NHL roster could be nearing an end. However, he will require waivers to be reassigned to AHL Iowa, as he has played 13 games since he was last waived, more than the limit of 10 games or 30 days. He has no points, a minus-5 rating, 11 shots on net and 28 hits this season.

Impact Jones went through waivers Tuesday, but remained on the roster and saw action on the fourth line versus Edmonton on Wednesday. The center was unable to garner a point in 26 NHL games this season, but did manage 51 hits while averaging 8:23 of ice time.

Remains on NHL roster Jones is still on the Wild's NHL roster ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Edmonton, per the NHL media site.

Impact Jones passed through waivers Tuesday but wasn't moved down as the team was still awaiting the status of Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) and Jakub Lauko (lower body). With neither player ready to suit up in Wednesday's tilt, Jones' potential demotion to the minors appears to be on hold. Look for him to suit up in a bottom-six role against the Oilers.

The 25-year-old Jones is still searching for his first NHL point -- he has not gotten on the scoresheet over 16 games this year and 18 outings in his career.
