Goes on injured reserve Jones (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Nabs assist in loss Jones recorded an assist in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Jones has played in all three of the Penguins' games so far, serving on the third pairing. He has a helper, two shots on net, three blocked shots, four hits and a plus-1 rating. The Penguins have just three left-shot blueliners, including Jones, so he may be able to find some job security over the right-handed shooting duo of Connor Clifton and Matt Dumba. Jones' best year was 2022-23 with the Blackhawks, when he had 16 points in 73 appearances.

Signs in Pittsburgh Jones signed a two-year, $1.8 million contract with the Penguins on Tuesday.

Impact Jones struggled to get into the lineup for the Kings last year, appearing in just six regular-season games. He also logged 21 points in 44 games with AHL Ontario. Jones will be in the mix for bottom-four minutes on the Penguins' blue line, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him spend some time at AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton if his performance slips.

Returns to AHL Jones was sent to AHL Ontario on Thursday.

Impact Jones has no points, six shots, 10 hits and five blocks in six appearances with the Kings in 2024-25. He also has two goals and 20 points across 42 outings with Ontario this season.

Elevated from minors Jones was promoted from AHL Ontario on Tuesday under emergency conditions.

Impact Jones has logged just five NHL games this year, with his most recent outing coming back on Nov. 13 against the Avalanche. The decision to elevate Jones to the NHL roster could be an indication that there will be another absence on the Kings' blue line than just Joel Edmundson (upper body), though nothing has been officially announced by the team yet.

Hits waivers Jones (upper body) was activated from injured reserve and placed on waivers Sunday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Jones missed nine straight games after being injured in a 4-2 loss to Colorado on Nov. 13. He will probably get some playing time with AHL Ontario if he clears waivers. The 27-year-old defender hasn't earned a point in five NHL appearances this season while posting six shots on goal, four blocked shots and nine hits.

On injured reserve Jones was placed on injured reserve Friday by the Kings.

Impact Jones sustained the injury during Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Colorado, so this move is presumably retroactive to that date. Even when he's ready to return, Jones might not draw into the lineup. He's often been a healthy scratch in 2024-25, logging just five games with the Kings, and the 27-year-old will probably continue to spend the majority of LA's action in the press box after he recovers.

Sustains upper-body injury Jones suffered an upper-body injury and couldn't finish Wednesday's game versus the Avalanche, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Jones played just 5:56 in the contest, his first action in two weeks. Considering he's been a healthy scratch more often than not, it may not be immediately clear when he's ready to play again. Jones has yet to record a point through five appearances this season, adding nine hits, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. Andreas Englund or Kyle Burroughs will likely rejoin the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Red Wings.

On Opening Night roster Jones is one of eight Los Angeles defensemen to make the Opening Night roster ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.

Impact Jones signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Kings in July. The 27-year-old will not be a lineup regular for Los Angeles, so he could see time with AHL Ontario throughout the season. The left-shot blueliner registered five assists in 25 regular-season contests with Colorado in 2023-24.

Inks two-way deal Jones signed a one-year, two-way deal with Los Angeles on Friday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Jones tallied five assists in 25 regular-season games with the Avalanche last season and appeared in just three of the team's 11 playoff contests. The 27-year-old defenseman also tallied six assists in 12 appearances with AHL Colorado. Jones will provide the Kings with some organizational depth on the blue line.

Supplies assist in win Jones notched an assist in Monday's 5-0 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Jones had been a healthy scratch for 18 straight games before subbing in for Josh Manson (lower body) in this contest. The helper was Jones' second point in his last four games, though he likely doesn't have much of a case for more playing time once Manson returns. Jones is at five helpers, 17 shots on net, 29 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 21 appearances this season.

Snags assist Jones posted an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Jones set up Logan O'Connor's goal in the third period. This was Jones' third straight game in the lineup -- he and Sam Malinski have been filling in for Bowen Byram (lower body) and Josh Manson (undisclosed) in recent games. Jones is up to four assists, 16 shots on net, 23 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 18 appearances. He'll likely return to the press box as a healthy scratch once the Avalanche's blue line is at full strength.

JANUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hands out helper Jones logged an assist, two shots on goal, five blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Jones was in the lineup for a second straight game with Cale Makar (lower body) out. The helper was Jones' first point since Nov. 30. Prior to Makar's absence, Jones had been passed on the depth chart by Sam Malinski. For the season, Jones has three helpers, 12 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 16 hits and a plus-6 rating over 14 appearances, playing mainly on the third pairing when he checks into the lineup.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Called on for Makar Jones had two shots on net, two blocked shots and two hits over 11:05 of ice time in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Winnipeg.

Impact Jones, who had been a healthy scratch the previous four games, stepped in for the unavailable Cale Makar (lower body). The blueline fill-in could get another opportunity Sunday, when the Avalanche complete a back-to-back set at home against the Sharks.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Assist, penalty in loss Jones had an assist, two penalty minutes, three blocked shots and two hits over 13:59 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Coyotes.

Impact Jones dumped a puck in the Coyotes' end along the boards and watched Miles Wood reach it first then go straight to the net to put Colorado up, 2-1. It was Jones' second assist in nine games since being called up. Later in the same period, he was in the box for interference when Arizona tied the game just 11 seconds into the power play. The third-pair defenseman has 11 hits, 13 blocks and is plus-5 since coming up from the AHL. Jones should continue to start regularly until Samuel Girard (personal) is ready to return.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

In line for ice time Jones was whistled for a two-minute penalty over 9:42 of ice time in Friday's 3-2 win over Minnesota.

Impact Jones has appeared in six consecutive games, first as a fill-in for Josh Manson and now as a replacement for Samuel Girard, who is away from the team indefinitely. It looks like the Avalanche will roll with Jones on defense instead of Kurtis MacDermid while Girard is in the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. The 26-year-old Jones has one point, four shots, eight hits, six blocks and two PIM while averaging 13:14 on the third pair.
