OCTOBER 3, 2024 • NHL.COM

Set to play Thursday Jones (undisclosed) is slated to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Kings.

Impact Jones had been dealing with an undisclosed injury recently, but he'll return to the lineup for the penultimate game of the preseason. He's competing for a bottom-six position in the lineup, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to make enough of an impact late in the preseason to earn a spot on the Opening Night roster.

OCTOBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing return Jones (undisclosed) is getting close to making his return to the lineup, according to Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.

Impact Jones won't play in Tuesday's preseason game versus Philadelphia, but he might be back in the fold for Thursday's contest versus the Kings or Saturday's matchup against the Capitals. He is vying for a bottom-six position in the lineup, and missing additional action due to injury could hurt his chances of securing his spot on the Opening Night roster.

OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with undisclosed injury Jones is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury that will sideline him against Washington on Tuesday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Jones was limited to just 52 games for the Ducks last season in which he garnered five goals, 10 assists and 76 shots while averaging 12:03 of ice time. With the Bruins, Jones will be hard-pressed to out of the bottom six and is unlikely to see any power-play opportunities. As such, his ceiling figures to be in the 20-point range.

Gets two-year contract Jones signed a two-year, $2 million contract with the Bruins on Monday, according to Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.

Impact Jones had five goals, 15 points, 33 PIM and 125 hits in 52 appearances with Anaheim in 2023-24. The Ducks decided against making him a qualifying offer, which is how the 26-year-old became an unrestricted free agent. Jones will likely get an opportunity to play regularly on Boston's fourth line.

Heading to free agency Jones did not receive a qualifying offer from Anaheim and will become an unrestricted free agent Monday, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones dealt with multiple injuries last season and was limited to 15 points in 52 games. The 26-year-old was a first-round pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft but has totaled only 62 points in 258 career NHL contests.

The 26-year-old is set to become a restricted free agent this summer, and figures to maintain his bottom-six role with the Ducks if they agree on a new contract.

Impact At this point, Jones is in danger of missing the rest of the season with just three more games remaining following Tuesday's tilt. Even when healthy, it's been a disappointing campaign for the 26-year-old winger, as he has managed just 15 points in his last 52 outings. If Jones does return, it figures to be in a bottom-six role.

Not expected back Friday Jones (upper body) is slated to miss Friday's clash with Seattle, per Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune.

Nikita Nesterenko, who was called up from the minors Friday, could be pressed into service versus the Kraken.

He's seen the occasional promotion to the top six, but he mostly plays limited minutes as a physical presence on the Ducks' third line.

MARCH 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to return Sunday Jones (illness) is good to play Sunday versus St. Louis.

Impact Jones missed three straight games because of the illness. He has five goals, 14 points, 31 PIM and 120 hits in 48 appearances in 2023-24. Jones will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity in his return, and Ben Meyers is projected to be a healthy scratch.

MARCH 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains unavailable Friday Jones (illness) will miss Friday's contest against Winnipeg, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact It will be Jones' third consecutive absence due to the illness. He has five goals and 14 points in 48 outings in 2023-24. The Ducks are also missing forwards Brock McGinn (upper body), Leo Carlsson (concussion) and Trevor Zegras (ankle), so Anaheim will dress seven defensemen Friday, including William Lagesson, who was a healthy scratch for Thursday's 2-0 loss to Minnesota.

MARCH 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
