Wild's David Jones: Will play Thursday
David Jones (personal) will debut with the Minnesota Wild on Thursday.Jones missed out on Tuesday's game against the Avalanche due to some visa issues, but it appears those are now behind him.

Jones can safely be avoided in most fantasy formats, but he does provide a bit of a boost in leagues that count hits (115 this season).
