Analysis:

Jones apparently is not ready to play after sitting out nearly a week, so the Flames decided to deactivate him to open up a roster spot, which was filled by Josh Jooris. Jones will be eligible to return to action in the next few days, but it remains to be seen when exactly he will be ready to play again.
