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.

Bruins' Max Jones: Dealing with undisclosed injury
Rotowire
Jones is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury that will sideline him against Washington on Tuesday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
Jones was limited to just 52 games for the Ducks last season in which he garnered five goals, 10 assists and 76 shots while averaging 12:03 of ice time. With the Bruins, Jones will be hard-pressed to get out of the bottom six and is unlikely to see any power-play opportunities. As such, his ceiling figures to be in the 20-point range.

Ducks' Max Jones: Picks up illness

Jones is under the weather and will not play in Tuesday's clash with Chicago, Alyson Lozoff of Bally Sports West reports.
Jones has been struggling to score since returning from a long-term upper-body issue, registering just one goal in his last 14 contests while recording 22 shots, five assists and 37 hits along the way. With the winger unavailable, Frank Vatrano could be in line to replace Jones on the first line while Mason McTavish could see an uptick in power-play minutes.
