Line Change
Jones is expected to be a healthy scratch on Thursday.






Jones played in five straight games with the Rangers before being a healthy scratch in Ottawa on Sunday. Patrik Nemeth (personal) replaced him in the lineup against the Senators.


Jones was a third-round pick of the Rangers in 2019 and signed his entry-level deal after his second year at UMass. The 20-year-old defenseman, who will replace Jacob Trouba and should see some PP2 time, had nine goals and 15 assists (24 points) in 29 games this season.
