Rangers' Zac Jones: Provides assist in win
Zac Jones logged an assist and four blocked shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.Jones started the year as a consistent part of the lineup, but with the New York Rangers fully healthy on the blue line, he's in competition with Victor Mancini for playing time. The 24-year-old Jones is up to two assists, a plus-5 rating, four shots on net, three hits and five blocked shots over six appearances this season. If the Rangers prioritize having an even righty-lefty split on their blue line, Jones may find himself out of the lineup frequently moving forward as the team's fourth left-handed defenseman.

Rangers' Zac Jones: Making most of opportunities

Jones has seen sheltered minutes, but the skilled defenseman has held his own with two assists and a plus-3 rating during this six-game stretch. With Ryan Lindgren (lower body) potentially poised to miss time as well after exiting Sunday's win, Jones is unlikely to leave the lineup anytime soon.

Rangers' Zac Jones: Tacks on helper
Zac Jones registered an assist in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Bruins.Jones is rounding out the blue line with Adam Fox (lower body) on long-term injured reserve. The Blueshirts have the option of turning to undrafted defenseman Connor Mackey as a reinforcement option, but he has yet to debut for the Original Six club, and Jones has more upside as a third-round (No. 68 overall) pick from the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. Jones' point total is comprised of three assists through 10 games, which isn't all that bad for a guy averaging only 12:52 of ice time.

Rangers' Zac Jones: Likely to play Saturday
Zac Jones could draw into the lineup Saturday against the Wild, as Adam Fox (lower body) was unable to finish Thursday's 2-1 win over the Hurricanes.Jones has been a spectator for all but one game during the New York Rangers' 8-2-0 start. In his lone appearance, the 23-year-old blueliner had four shots and a minus-2 rating in 12:30 TOI against the Blue Jackets on Oct. 14. A return timetable for Fox has yet to be established, but he'll likely miss at least one game after Carolina's Sebastian Aho went knee-on-knee on the star blueliner Thursday. If Fox is out of the lineup Saturday, Jones would be a candidate for ice time on the second power-play unit.
