Panthers' Seth Jones: All-around showing in Florida debut
Rotowire
Jones fired three shots on goal, blocked two shots and provided a hit during his Florida debut in Monday's 2-1 win against Tampa Bay.
While Jones was held off the scoresheet in his first game with the Panthers, he posted a solid performance on both sides of the ice. He saw 22:56 TOI in a top-four pairing with Niko Mikkola. The 30-year-old Jones has 27 points, 84 shots on net and 85 blocks in 43 games this season. The newly-acquired blueliner from Chicago is capable of quarterbacking a power-play unit and has 15 points with the man advantage this season. However, Florida elected to stick with veteran Aaron Ekblad as their top power-play option on the blueline in Jones' debut. Until Ekblad shows signs of struggling on the power play, we may see Jones as a secondary option with a man advantage. Regardless, Jones should see an uptick in fantasy value now that he's playing alongside the reigning champs.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Rotowire

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

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.

Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Logs helper in loss
Rotowire
Jones posted an assist, five shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.
Jones continues to be one of the Blackhawks' better players. He has a goal and five assists over six contests, with his latest point being a secondary helper on the first of Craig Smith's two goals Saturday. Jones has added 21 shots on net, nine blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-1 rating while playing in a top-pairing role with a spot on the first power-play unit. The 30-year-old will struggle to live up to his $9.5 million cap hit, but fantasy managers can be happy if he approaches a 50-point pace while adding plenty of shots, hits and blocks without being too much of an anchor on the plus-minus rating.
