What It Means:

After winning six of seven previous starts, Jones was unable to pick up a victory in two outings against the Los Angeles Kings, including allowing two goals on 35 shots in Tuesday's loss. On the year, he is 19-12-2 with a .920 save percentage, 2.10 goals-against average, and a pair of shutouts. Minnesota ranks fourth in the NHL with 3.11 goals for per game.

Our models project Jones for 23.3 saves, 1.9 goals against, and a 53.0 percent chance of picking up a win against the Kings. He is our sixth-ranked fantasy goalie out of 14 starters on Thursday.
