Oilers' Max Jones: Hits waivers for AHL assignment

Jones (undisclosed) was placed on waivers by the Oilers for the purpose of assignment to AHL Bakersfield, the team announced Sunday.

Jones' inclusion on waivers implies that he's recovered from his injury. The 27-year-old had a goal, two points, 18 PIM and 71 hits in 26 regular-season appearances between Boston and Edmonton last year. It's possible that a team will claim Jones to use in a fourth-line role, but if he does clear waivers, then he would be among Edmonton's top call-up options.
