Rotowire
Jones was called up from AHL Providence on Tuesday.
Jones will join the Bruins along with Patrick Brown, who was also recalled Tuesday, while Mark Kastelic (undisclosed) heads back onto injured reserve. For his part, the 26-year-old Jones is pointless in four games for Boston this year in which he tallied eight hits, one shot and eight PIM while averaging 11:13 of ice time. It will likely come down to either Jones or Brown for one available fourth-line spot against the Devils on Wednesday.

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: Remains unavailable Tuesday
Rotowire
Jones (upper body) will not be in the lineup to face the Kings on Tuesday, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.
