Jones tallied a goal, fired two shots on net and dished out two hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Washington.
After the Capitals took an early 2-1 lead, Jones responded with his first goal for the Panthers less than two minutes later. The 30-year-old blueliner is up to eight goals, 30 points and 102 shots on net in 51 appearances this season. Since Aaron Ekblad's 20-game suspension began, Jones has been averaging 26:42 TOI, which is roughly four and a half minutes more than he saw in his first three contests with the team. He has also been quarterbacking Florida's top power-play unit and has two power-play assists in his past six games. Jones' prominent usage should help him provide plenty of value for the fantasy playoffs.

Panthers' Seth Jones: Secures power-play helper
Rotowire
Jones logged a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 1-0 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Jones has earned two assists over eight contests as a Panther. He's immediately returned to his workhorse ways from his time as a Blackhawk, as the Panthers are without Aaron Ekblad (suspension) until the third game of the postseason, leaving Jones to pick up the slack. For the season, the 30-year-old defenseman has 29 points (17 on the power play), 99 shots on net, 76 hits, 95 blocked shots and a minus-22 rating over 50 appearances.

Panthers' Seth Jones: Florida-bound in trade
Rotowire
Jones and a 2026 fourth-round pick were traded to the Panthers from the Blackhawks on Saturday in exchange for Spencer Knight and a conditional 2026 first-round pick.
Per PuckPedia, the Blackhawks will use up their last salary retention spot for the season by retaining $2.5 million of Jones' $9.5 million cap hit. He is under contract for five more years after this one, so this is far more than just a rental for the Panthers. The good news is the Panthers will get a minutes-munching blueliner who can quarterback a power play. Jones should also benefit significantly from going to a Stanley Cup contender after playing for one of the worst teams in the league, so consider his fantasy stock on the rise. Jones is likely to be available to play Monday versus the Lightning.

Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Nets lone goal on power play
Rotowire
Jones scored a power-play goal on two shots, added five hits and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Utah.
Jones opened the scoring at 13:34 of the first period, but the Blackhawks' offense couldn't get the better of Karel Vejmelka again. The 30-year-old Jones has three points over seven games in February, and all of that offense has come on the power play. The defenseman is open to being traded, but he carries a $9.5 million cap hit for five years after this one, which is likely to be a big obstacle to getting any deal done. Don't expect a deal to happen -- Jones is likely to continue playing on the Blackhawks' top pairing and first power-play unit. He's at 27 points (15 on the power play), 78 shots on net, 83 blocked shots, 61 hits and a minus-16 rating through 41 appearances this season.

Blackhawks' Seth Jones: One of each in Friday's win
Rotowire
Jones scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, doled out two hits and blocked four shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Predators.
Jones' pair of points came on the power play -- he and Connor Bedard assisted on each other's tallies. With two goals and four helpers over six outings since he missed a game due to an illness, Jones is in a groove. The 30-year-old defenseman is up to six goals, 26 points, 72 shots on net, 75 blocked shots, 54 hits and a minus-12 rating through 37 appearances. He's earned 14 of his points with the man advantage.
Jones had two assists Tuesday in a 4-1 win over the Lightning.
Jones has nine points (two goals, seven assists) during a six-game personal point streak dating to Jan. 13. He missed one game with an illness during that stretch. Jones has really picked up his game this season and has 23 points (12 with the man advantage), including 18 assists, in 33 games. Jones offers sneaky fantasy value, as long as you can accommodate his plus-minus risk (minus-9).

Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Gathers helper Wednesday
Rotowire
Jones managed an assist, two shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

Jones is up to 14 points, 51 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 26 hits and a minus-8 rating through 25 appearances. He continues to be a key part of the Blackhawks' blue line, and while his offense hasn't been significant in 2024-25, he does enough across the board to help in many fantasy formats.

Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Helps out on power play
Rotowire
Jones notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Stars.
Jones has a point in each of the last two games after coming up empty in his first two contests back from a broken foot. The 30-year-old defenseman is up to 12 points (six on the power play), 43 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 23 hits and a minus-10 rating through 21 appearances. Jones can be a multi-category force in fantasy, but he will weigh down a manager's plus-minus rating by playing big minutes on a defensively suspect team.

Jones missed 16 games with the injury. The 30-year-old defenseman has two goals, eight assists, 38 shots on goal, 22 hits and 34 blocks across 17 appearances this season. He should return to the top power-play unit when the Blackhawks face Calgary on Saturday.

Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Upgraded to day-to-day
Rotowire
Jones (foot) is now considered day-to-day but won't play against Washington on Tuesday, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
Jones has been out of the lineup since Nov. 14 versus the Kraken, a stretch of 14 games on the shelf that appears to be nearing its end. In 17 games this year, the Texas-born defenseman has generated two goals and eight helpers, including five power-play points. Once given the all-clear, Jones should retake his spot with the man advantage in addition to eating up plenty of minutes on the blue line.

Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Will miss more than minimum time
Rotowire
Jones (foot) doesn't have a specific timeline to return but won't be ready when first eligible next Saturday versus the Flyers, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Without saying it outright, head coach Luke Richardson's update suggests Jones is somewhere in the week-to-week range. The Blackhawks will likely have to navigate without their top blueliner for the remainder of November. Look for Nolan Allan and Alec Martinez to take on increased minutes while Alex Vlasic figures to benefit from a spot on the top power-play unit.

Rotowire
Jones (foot) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Due to Jones' absence, Nolan Allan will probably return to the lineup versus Vancouver on Saturday.

Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Snaps dry spell with helper
Rotowire
Jones recorded an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.
Jones started the year strong, but some of the shine has started to come off after a four-game slump. He snapped that dry spell by helping out on Tyler Bertuzzi's game-tying goal in the final minute of regulation. Jones is up to eight points, 30 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, nine hits, six PIM and a minus-2 rating over 12 appearances this season. While his offense may falter at times, Jones is a lock to see huge minutes, giving him plenty of chances to rack up non-scoring production.
