Jones had an assist, two penalty minutes, three blocked shots and two hits over 13:59 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Coyotes.
Jones dumped a puck in the Coyotes' end along the boards and watched Miles Wood reach it first then go straight to the net to put Colorado up 2-1. It was Jones' second assist in nine games since being called up. Later in the same period, he was in the box for interference when Arizona tied the game just 11 seconds into the power play. The third-pair defenseman has 11 hits, 13 blocks and is plus-5 since coming up from the AHL. Jones should continue to start regularly until Samuel Girard (personal) is ready to return.

Avalanche's Caleb Jones: Poised to play more
Rotowire
Jones, who has appeared in six consecutive games, logged 9:42 of ice time in Friday's 3-2 win over Minnesota.
Jones was in the lineup initially as a fill-in for Josh Manson and now he's been a replacement for Samuel Girard, who is away from the team indefinitely. It looks like the Avalanche will roll with Jones on defense instead of Kurtis MacDermid, who has shifted to playing more at forward. The 26-year-old Jones has one point, four shots, eight hits, six blocks and two PIM while averaging 13:14 on the third pairing.

Avalanche's Caleb Jones: Needed again
Rotowire
Jones had three shots on goal, two blocked shots and one hit over 13:25 of ice time in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Ducks.
Jones was recalled from AHL Colorado for the second time within a week to fill in for an ailing Josh Manson (upper body). Jones has played the last two games, posting an assist, four shots, four hits and four blocks while seeing time on the third pair. The 26-year-old entered the season with 217 games of NHL experience, so he could make frequent appearances for the Avalanche when injuries strike.

Avalanche's Caleb Jones: Headed back to minors
Rotowire
Jones was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Tuesday.
Jones picked up his first assist in an Avalanche uniform after being traded to the franchise just before the season started. Even with the point, the blueliner will be hard-pressed to see regular minutes with the club once Samuel Girard (undisclosed) and Josh Manson (undisclosed) return to action.

Avalanche's Caleb Jones: Earns first helper
Rotowire
Jones logged an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
Artturi Lehkonen (upper body) going on long-term injured reserve opened up some money for the Avalanche to remodel their defense. Jones and Sam Malinski were called up from AHL Colorado, replacing Samuel Girard and Josh Manson in the lineup for this contest. Jones was able to get a helper in his season debut by picking up the second assist on a Cale Makar tally in the third period. While he saw just 15:42 of ice time, Jones could have a chance to carve out a third-pairing role while with the big club.

Caleb Jones: Heading to free agency
Rotowire
Jones won't be qualified by the Blackhawks and will become a free agent Saturday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.
Jones posted 16 points in 73 games with the Blackhawks last season and even featured on the power play, so this is a notable departure. The defenseman should garner some interest on the open market as a bottom-four option.

Blackhawks' Caleb Jones: Strikes on power play in loss
Rotowire
Jones scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Coyotes.
Jones put the Blackhawks ahead 2-1 in the third period. The defenseman has two goals and an assist over his last five contests, and he's up to 14 points, 70 shots on net, 101 hits, 95 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 60 appearances this season. He could have some mild fantasy appeal while playing in a top-four role with power-play time, though doing so for a bad team makes him a massive risk in plus-minus.
Jones scored a goal on four shots and added four PIM in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Coyotes.
Jones secured the win for the Blackhawks at 3:37 of overtime. This was his third career game-winning tally. The 25-year-old hasn't done much on offense lately, posting just two points in 22 contests since the start of December, but he's at least played in 14 straight games. He's up to two goals, 11 points, 49 shots on net, 26 PIM, 63 hits, 53 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 41 outings.

Blackhawks' Caleb Jones: Steps up for brother
Rotowire
Jones was credited with an assist during a 2-1 overtime win over the Kings on Thursday.
Jones, who has compiled six helpers in his past six games, led his team's defensemen with 1:10 of power-play ice time Thursday. That's a big step for a 2015 fourth-round draft pick who posted a career-high 15 points in 51 games last season. With his brother, Seth Jones (thumb), sidelined for about a month, Caleb Jones, who added two hits Thursday, is beginning to step up.
