Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Needs one more point for 50
Rotowire
Jones had two assists -- one on the power play -- to go with three shots and four blocked shots in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over the Sharks.
Jones was heavily involved on both ends of the ice, as is typical for the minute-munching defenseman. Unfortunately for Jones and the Blackhawks, he hasn't helped the team achieve much success in his first year in the Windy City. In terms of personal accolades, Jones needs just one more point to reach 50 for the second time in his career.

He's been a strong scoring presence this season with 45 points and 157 shots on net in 63 appearances. He's added 80 hits, 132 blocked shots and a minus-26 rating, though that's mainly a product of the Blackhawks' poor team defense.

Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Surges for three assists
Rotowire
Jones registered three assists -- including two power-play helpers -- in Friday's 8-5 win over the Devils.
