Jones posted an assist, five shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.
Jones continues to be one of the Blackhawks' better players. He has a goal and five assists over six contests, with his latest point being a secondary helper on the first of Craig Smith's two goals Saturday. Jones has added 21 shots on net, nine blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-1 rating while playing in a top-pairing role with a spot on the first power-play unit. The 30-year-old will struggle to live up to his $9.5 million cap hit, but fantasy managers can be happy if he approaches a 50-point pace while adding plenty of shots, hits and blocks without being too much of an anchor on the plus-minus rating.

Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Supplies assist in loss
Rotowire
Jones posted an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
Jones set up Nick Foligno's first-period tally. It's been a strong start to the year for Jones, who has a goal, four assists, 11 shots on net and six blocked shots across four contests. The 30-year-old defenseman is unlikely to maintain a point-per-game pace, but he is setting himself up well for a strong season as the Blackhawks look to take a collective step forward in their rebuild.

Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Racks up three points
Rotowire
Jones scored a goal on three shots, logged two assists, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.
All three of Jones' points came on the power play. If the Blackhawks can continue to make an impact with the man advantage, that bodes well for a bounce-back year from the 30-year-old defenseman. He's already earned four points, four blocked shots, seven shots on net and one hit over three contests in 2024-25.

Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Registers helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Jones logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Utah.
Jones helped out on a Teuvo Teravainen goal in the second period. The 30-year-old Jones is poised to see significant minutes once again for the Blackhawks, but he's had mixed results over his three years with the team. He's missed the 40-point mark in consecutive seasons, and he also failed to reach double digits in power-play production in 2023-24. The Blackhawks improved their roster this offseason, so there's a chance Jones can do better than his 31-point effort from 67 games last season, but he's likely to remain a tough player to roster in fantasy formats that count plus-minus rating.

Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Nets lone goal in loss
Rotowire
Jones scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Friday's 6-1 preseason loss to the Wild.
Jones got the Blackhawks on the board late in the second period, but the Wild restored a two-goal advantage with Mats Zuccarello's power-play tally. Over three preseason games, Jones put up two points. The 30-year-old defenseman will open 2024-25 on the top pairing and see significant power-play usage, but he's missed the 40-point mark in four of the last five years and will likely also carry a horrendous plus-minus rating throughout the season.

Rotowire
Jones (shoulder) took part in Friday's practice and hopes to return Saturday versus Dallas if the morning skate goes well, per Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago.
Jones hasn't played since Dec. 10 due to the injury. He has 11 assists, 60 shots, 25 hits and 64 blocks in 27 contests this season.

Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Closing in on return
Rotowire
Jones (shoulder) still needs to practice, but coach Luke Richardson is hoping the defenseman will be ready to return to game action "within the week," Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
Although Jones will miss a 14th straight game Tuesday against the Oilers, it sounds like he should be ready to return sooner rather than later. The 29-year-old American has picked up 11 helpers through 27 contests this campaign, a disappointing output compared to the 12 goals and 37 points he collected through 72 appearances in 2022-23.

Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Expected to skate soon
Rotowire
Jones (shoulder) is slated to resume skating this weekend, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports Tuesday.
Jones was already expected to miss the upcoming three games but his return to the ice could see him back in action sooner rather than later. Despite averaging 3:29 of power-play ice time, the 29-year-old defenseman has registered just one of his 11 points with the man advantage. Once cleared to play, Jones will no doubt be eager to find the back of the net for the first time this season.

Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Set to miss five-game road trip
Rotowire
Jones (shoulder) is expected to start skating during the Blackhawks' five-game road trip but is unlikely to play during that stretch, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports Wednesday.
