Oilers' Max Jones: Nets goal in 300th game
Rotowire
Jones scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
This was Jones' 300th NHL contest, and he was able to make an impact with a tally just 5:28 into the game. That stood as the game-winner. He's earned three points over his last seven outings and is now at five points, 19 shots on net, 45 hits and a plus-1 rating through 16 appearances. Jones will likely continue to play in a bottom-six role while the Oilers are battling a number of injuries.

Oilers' Max Jones: Scores go-ahead tally
Rotowire
Jones scored a goal, put two shots on net and dished out four hits in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.
Jones scored near the start of the third period, giving Edmonton a 4-3 lead, and it held up as the game-winner. The twine finder was his second of the season and second in his last four NHL games. Overall, he has three points, 16 shots on net and 27 hits across 10 games. He's compiled all of his stats without exceeding 10 minutes of ice time in a game this season. Jones has been an effective player when given the opportunity at the NHL level, but his fantasy value is minimal due to his limited playing time.

Oilers' Max Jones: Hits waivers for AHL assignment
Rotowire
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.

Oilers' Max Jones: Unavailable Wednesday
Rotowire
Jones will be out of action for Wednesday's matchup versus the Kraken, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
The team didn't provide specifics regarding Jones' injury, but the Oilers did say he might still be an option for the preseason finale versus Vancouver on Friday. In 19 regular-season appearances for Edmonton last year, the 27-year-old winger notched one goal, one assist and 57 hits while averaging just 9:09 of ice time. Looking ahead to the upcoming campaign, Jones could struggle to make regular appearances for the club and might serve as a healthy scratch periodically.

Oilers' Max Jones: Scores first goal with new team
Rotowire
Jones scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Sharks.
Jones stretched the Oilers' lead to 2-0 in the second period. The winger had gone 17 games without a point prior to Wednesday after earning an assist in his debut with the team. The 27-year-old totaled just those two points with 17 shots on net, 71 hits and a minus-13 rating across 26 appearances between the Oilers and the Bruins this season. Jones may not be in the lineup for every game of the playoffs once all of Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed), Zach Hyman (undisclosed), Trent Frederic (ankle) and Evander Kane (knee) are healthy.

Oilers' Max Jones: Holding down fourth-line spot
Rotowire
Jones has logged one assist over 16 games since he was traded to the Oilers from the Bruins on March 4.
The 27-year-old has been scratched just three times, though the Oilers' plethora of injuries has likely helped him stay in the lineup. Jones has just one helper, 13 shots on net, 61 hits and a minus-12 rating over 23 appearances this season. If Edmonton gets to full health in the playoffs, Jones could be at risk of being a healthy scratch.

Oilers' Max Jones: Assist in team debut
Rotowire
Jones logged an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens.
This was Jones' first point at the NHL level this season. He went scoreless in seven outings with the Bruins before a trade Tuesday brought him into the Oilers' organization. He pushed Jeff Skinner out of the lineup for Thursday's game, though both players could lose out when fellow trade acquisition Trent Frederic (lower body) is ready for his team debut. Jones offers some physicality and could improve Edmonton's bottom six, but he isn't likely to play a large enough role to be a factor in fantasy.
