xGF% is his team's share of 5v5 expected goals while he was on the ice, from our own expected goals model; HDCF% counts only high-danger chances (xG of 0.15 or more). IPP is the share of his team's 5v5 goals while he was on the ice that he scored or assisted on. Relative stats compare him with his team when he was off the ice. Goals above expected and ixG/60 use his own shots at all strengths. PDO and OZS% describe luck and deployment, so their bars are grey.
Play styleDefensive grind-line winger
Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26
Jones is a relentless two-way force who excels at forechecking, physicality, and defensive positioning while struggling to generate his own scoring chances. He enters the zone effectively on rushes and moves well, but shoots infrequently and lacks playmaking range to drive offense.

Where he shoots from
Slot 54% · Mid-range 42% · Perimeter 4%(26 unblocked shots)
Strengths
- Defensive impact at 98th percentile makes him a reliable low-risk player
- Forechecking at 96th percentile and physicality at 95th create immediate pressure
- Rush entry timing at 83rd percentile gets him in position to attack
Watch-outs
- Shooting volume at 34th percentile limits his goal-scoring upside
- Playmaking at 61st percentile means he won't set up many chances
- Averages just 8.3 minutes per game despite strong all-around play

Built from play-by-play, shift data, and NHL EDGE tracking. Zone entries is an estimate (rush chances while he is on the ice) until tracking data is added.

Game Score adds up a player's impact in goals compared with an average player given the same ice time: his share of expected goals for and against at even strength, on the power play, and on the penalty kill, plus finishing (goals minus expected goals), primary assists, penalties drawn and taken, and faceoffs. Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
