Wild's Hunter Jones: Joins taxi squad

Jones was elevated to the taxi squad Wednesday.

Jones' promotion is a result of multiple goaltender moves to fill the vacancy left in Cam Talbot's (lower body) absence. The 21-year-old has posted a 1-2-1 record with a 3.00 GAA and a .905 save percentage with AHL Iowa this season. He will serve as an emergency backup should another Wild netminder lose eligibility to compete. The Ontario-native has yet to make his NHL debut.
