Bruins' Max Jones: Nearing return

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

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.
