Wild's Ben Jones: Pots pair of goals
Jones scored twice in AHL Iowa's 4-3 shootout loss to Rockford on Sunday.
Jones is up to 10 goals and 23 points over 28 outings this season. He's racked up seven points over his last seven contests. The 27-year-old also has two points in 26 games for the Wild this year, but Jones is likely to stay in the AHL as long as the big club remains healthy.

Wild's Ben Jones: Sent to AHL
Jones was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Wednesday.
Jones spent just over a week with Minnesota, but he didn't appear in any games during his stint with the NHL club. He should see more consistent opportunities to contribute in the minors, where he's recorded five goals, 11 assists and 12 PIM over 18 appearances with Iowa this year.

Wild's Ben Jones: Coming up from Iowa
Jones was recalled from AHL Iowa on Tuesday.
Jones will continue to provide depth for the Wild, as the team had only 12 forwards on the roster prior to calling him up. The 26-year-old has accounted for two points, 25 shots, 53 hits and a minus-10 rating over 26 appearances with the big club this season. It remains to be seen if he will be in the lineup Thursday in Colorado.

Wild's Ben Jones: Trio of assists in AHL loss

Jones has two goals and eight helpers over his last six AHL outings. For the season, he's at 16 points in 15 outings for Iowa, as well as two points in 26 games for Minnesota at the NHL level. Jones would likely be considered for a call-up if the injury bug bites the Wild again.

Wild's Ben Jones: Logs three points in AHL win
Jones scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Iowa's 3-2 win over Milwaukee on Friday.
Jones has shuttled to and from Iowa frequently this season, as his presence has been needed as a depth forward in the NHL multiple times. He's done well at the AHL level, earning four goals and six assists over 11 contests. Jones also has two points in 26 NHL games, adding 53 hits and a minus-10 rating. He'll be in the AHL as long as the Wild stay relatively healthy at the NHL level.

Wild's Ben Jones: Sent down to minors
Jones was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.
Jones could still be recalled prior to Saturday's matchup with the Panthers, assuming he suits up for AHL Iowa in Friday's Outdoor Classic against AHL Milwaukee. Even if the Ontario native is added back to the NHL roster, he will likely serve as a healthy scratch now that Joel Eriksson Ek is back in the lineup.

Wild's Ben Jones: Scores for first NHL point
Jones scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Jones, a seventh-round pick of the Golden Knights in 2017, has finally joined the ranks of NHL scorers. He opened the scoring Saturday at 2:51 of the first period with his first career goal and point, coming in his 49th appearance. The 26-year-old has added 19 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-5 rating over 21 contests with the Wild this season. Jones looks to have a chance to play regularly as long as Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) is out.

Wild's Ben Jones: Summoned from AHL
Jones was recalled from AHL Iowa on Saturday, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Jones was called up because Joel Eriksson Ek suffered an undisclosed injury against the Kraken on Thursday. Jones has played 48 NHL regular-season games in his career, including 20 contests this campaign, and has yet to pick up a point. He had three goals and three assists in eight AHL appearances before his recall.

Wild's Ben Jones: Returned to AHL
Jones was assigned to AHL Iowa on Tuesday.
Minnesota activated Zach Bogosian (lower body) from injured reserve in a corresponding move. Jones hasn't earned a point in 20 NHL appearances this season while contributing 17 shots on goal, seven blocked shots and 47 hits. He has two assists in three AHL outings during the 2025-26 campaign.

Wild's Ben Jones: Called up to NHL
Jones has been recalled from AHL Iowa by the Wild, the team announced Sunday.
Jones was sent back to AHL Iowa on Friday but is quickly returning to the NHL club ahead of Sunday's contest against the Avalanche. Injuries to the Wild's forwards throughout the season have allowed him to spend more time in the NHL lineup than in the AHL this season, but he is still seeking his first career NHL point. The 26-year-old likely won't draw into the lineup Sunday, barring some unexpected injury news for the Wild.

Wild's Ben Jones: Heads to minors
Jones was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.
Jones successfully cleared waivers, but unlike others who end up on the wire, it wasn't immediately clear if he'd be demoted after going unclaimed. He did play in Thursday's 5-2 victory over Columbus, recording two shots over 7:02 of ice time. His demotion also brings the Wild down to 11 healthy forwards on their active roster -- 10 if Marcus Johansson (lower body) can't play Saturday versus Edmonton. However, Minnesota has time to promote forwards before its upcoming game against the Oilers.

Wild's Ben Jones: On waivers
Jones was put on waivers by Minnesota on Thursday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Jones has no points, 15 shots and 47 hits in 19 appearances with the Wild this season. Normally, players put on waivers are reassigned to the minors if they go unclaimed, but that won't immediately happen in this case. Jones is still expected to remain with the team and play Thursday in Columbus, per Michael Russo of The Athletic. However, Jones clearing waivers gives the Wild the flexibility to send him to the minors later should they need to free a roster spot. Minnesota currently has Jonas Brodin (lower body), Vinnie Hinostroza (lower body), Daemon Hunt (undisclosed), Jake Middleton (upper body) and Mats Zuccarello (upper body) all on injured reserve.

Wild's Ben Jones: Cedes spot in lineup
Jones was a healthy scratch for Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres.
Jones had played in the previous seven contests amid a rough stretch of injuries for the Wild. His exit coincided with the return of Vladimir Tarasenko (lower body). With Marco Rossi (lower body) also getting closer to a return, Jones' time on the NHL roster could be nearing an end. However, Jones will require waivers to return to AHL Iowa after appearing in 13 games. He has no points, a minus-5 rating, 11 shots on net and 28 hits this season.

Wild's Ben Jones: Called up from minors
Jones was recalled from AHL Iowa on Tuesday.
Jones' promotion to the NHL roster doesn't guarantee he will be in the lineup versus Dallas on Tuesday. If he does make it into the lineup, it figures to be in a fourth-line role at the expense of Danila Yurov or Liam Ohgren. In 26 regular-season outings with Minnesota last year, Jones failed to register a point while producing 24 shots, 51 hits and 10 PIM.

Wild's Ben Jones: Waived Monday
Jones was placed on waivers Monday with the purpose of sending him to AHL Iowa.

Wild's Ben Jones: Called up Wednesday
Jones was recalled from AHL Iowa on Wednesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Jones was sent down by Minnesota in mid-January, but he'll join the Wild on their road trip that has four games remaining and runs through next Tuesday. The 25-year-old has made 26 appearances for the NHL club this year, and he's recorded no points, 51 hits, 11 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-3 rating while averaging 8:23 of ice time.

Wild's Ben Jones: Returned to AHL affiliate
Jones was sent to AHL Iowa on Thursday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Jones went through waivers Tuesday, but he remained on the roster and saw action on the fourth line versus Edmonton on Wednesday. The center was unable to garner a point in 26 NHL games this season, but he did manage 51 hits while averaging 8:23 of ice time. He could return to Minnesota ahead of Saturday's tilt against the Predators, as the Wild have only nine healthy forwards heading into the matchup.

Wild's Ben Jones: Remains on NHL roster
Jones is still on the Wild's NHL roster ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Edmonton, per the NHL media site.
Jones passed through waivers Tuesday but wasn't moved down as the team was still awaiting the status of Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) and Jakub Lauko (lower body). With neither player ready to suit up in Wednesday's tilt, Jones' potential demotion to the minors appears to be on hold. Look for him to suit up in a bottom-six role against the Oilers.

Wild's Ben Jones: Waived by Minnesota
Jones was waived by the Wild on Monday.
Jones saw consistent playing time for Minnesota in recent months, as he appeared in 25 of the team's last 27 games. However, he didn't make much of an impact, as he was held without a point while recording 49 hits, 11 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-3 rating while averaging 8:29 of ice time. He'll likely head to AHL Iowa if he passes through waivers.
