Jones joins Minnesota after two strong seasons with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) after he signed a two-year, two-way contract on Tuesday. The 25-year-old 7th-round pick made his one and only NHL appearance with Vegas in 2021-22 and only appeared in two games. In 2023-24 with Calgary (AHL) he had 21 goals and 43 points in 72 games played.

After five years in the Golden Knights' organization, Jones signed with the Flames last July and finished third in Calgary Wranglers scoring with 54 points (17G / 37A) in 71 AHL games. With Matthew Phillips now with the Capitals, Jones will be a key member of the Wranglers lineup in 2024.

With Max Pacioretty and Will Carrier returning on Wednesday and Adam Brooks emerging, the Golden Knights have returned three forwards to the AHL. Jones failed to record a point in two NHL games but has six points (4G / 2A) in 12 AHL games.

Jones was a seventh-round draft pick in 2017 and set to make his NHL debut after 86 AHL games and eight ECHL games. He has four goals and two assists (six points) in 12 AHL games this season.
