Latest news
Jones, alongside Daniel Laatsch, was traded to Buffalo from Pittsburgh on Monday in exchange for Ryan Johnson.
Jones is off to a productive start to the 2026-27 AHL season, and the Sabres took notice, bringing him in as a part of Monday's trade. The 29-year-old blueliner posted three assists, a plus-3 rating and five shots on net across four games with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. He also appeared in seven games for the Penguins in 2025-26. While he'll likely spend the majority of the new season with AHL Rochester following the trade, there's a chance he could be called upon to make some appearances at the highest level this season, given his track record of playing in 255 NHL regular-season contests across his eight-year career.
RotoWire via ESPN · Oct 12
Jones notched three assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 7-1 win over Hartford on Saturday.
Jones looks set to spend most or all of this season in the AHL. He has some NHL experience, so he could be a call-up option at some point, but he's logged just 13 regular-season games in the NHL over the previous two campaigns. If he gets a call-up, it will be to serve as a depth defender.

Jones was put on waivers Saturday for the purpose of being assigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Jones chipped in one assist, five shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 10 hits in seven regular-season appearances for Pittsburgh in 2025-26. If he goes unclaimed, he could see most of his playing time in the minors this campaign.

Jones (shoulder) wasn't listed among Pittsburgh's injured players ahead of training camp Wednesday.
Jones was limited to just seven regular-season appearances with Pittsburgh in 2025-26 because of injury and a lengthy suspension. Looking ahead to 2026-27, the 29-year-old blueliner could secure a spot on the 23-man roster, but he could serve as a frequent healthy scratch.
RotoWire via ESPN · Sep 16
Jones (shoulder) has been placed on injured reserve by the Penguins, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports Sunday.
The move is just a formality after the Penguins announced that Jones would miss the rest of the season due to shoulder surgery Friday. The 28-year-old's season officially comes to a close with one point in seven games at the NHL level.
RotoWire via ESPN · Apr 5
Jones had right shoulder surgery and will be out 4-6 months, the Penguins announced Friday.
Jones hasn't played since Oct. 23 due to a lower-body injury and a 20-game suspension. The blueliner was already ruled out for the remainder of the season, so this announcement doesn't come as a surprise. The 28-year-old Texas native should be ready in time for the 2026-27 campaign, barring any setbacks.
