Jones (back spasms) was activated from injured reserve Thursday.

Analysis:

The back issues had kept Jones unavailable for the Kings' previous three games, but with a little extra time to recover while the team breaks for the NHL All-Star Game, it appears the goalie will be ready to go for the start of the second half. J.F. Berube, who had backed up Jonathan Quick in lieu of Jones during his three-game absence, was sent down to AHL Manchester on Thursday in a corresponding move.
