Caleb Jones - NHL News & Rumors

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.

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.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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.

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.

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.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still in lineup Jones blocked two shots and administered three hits over 12:09 of ice time in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Predators.

Impact Jones, who had been filling in for Josh Manson the last three games, remained on the active roster even though Manson returned. This time, Jones replaced Samuel Girard, who was held out for personal reasons. Jones has one assist, four shots on goal, seven hits and six blocked shots while averaging 13:25 TOI over four games.

Impact Jones was recalled from AHL Colorado for the second time within a week to fill in for an ailing Josh Manson (upper body). He's played the last two games, posting an assist, four shots, four hits and four blocks while getting TOI on the third pair. The 26-year-old entered the season with 217 games of NHL experience, so he could make frequent appearances for the Avalanche when injuries strike.

Headed back to minors Jones was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Tuesday.

Impact Jones picked up his first assist in an Avalanche uniform after being traded to the club just before the season started. Even with the point, the blueliner will be hard-pressed to see regular minutes with the club once Samuel Girard (undisclosed) and Josh Manson (undisclosed) return to action.

Earns first helper Jones logged an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact Artturi Lehkonen (upper body) going on long-term injured reserve opened up some money for the Avalanche to remodel their defense. Jones and Sam Malinski were called up from AHL Colorado, replacing Samuel Girard and Josh Manson in the lineup for this contest. Jones was able to get a helper in his season debut by picking up the second assist on a Cale Makar tally in the third period. While he saw just 15:42 of ice time, Jones could have a chance to carve out a third-pairing role while with the big club.

NOVEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Jones may be on hand for Wednesday's game versus St. Louis in case Cale Makar, who took an awkward spill into the boards during Sunday's loss to Buffalo but was able to finish the game, is unable to go. Jones has yet to crack the Avalanche's lineup this season after picking up 16 points through 73 games with the Blackhawks last year.
