Zac Jones

24-Year-Old DefensemanD
New York Rangers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jones spent the entirety of last season in the NHL, serving as the Rangers' seventh defenseman. As a result, his playing time was extremely limited. He appeared in just 31 regular-season games (two goals, nine points) and none after April 7. The good news is that Jones showed extremely well when in the lineup to the point that New York neglected to sign a replacement for Erik Gustafsson in free agency, all but opening up a full-time roster spot for Jones. There could be some sneaky fantasy value here if Jones is able to secure a role on the club's second power-play unit, but that's far from a given. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a two-year, $1.625 million contract with the Rangers in June of 2023.
Picking up power-play time
DNew York Rangers
December 25, 2024
Jones has averaged 1:00 of power-play time per game this season.
ANALYSIS
Jones is not guaranteed to be in the lineup, as the 24-year-old occasionally sits out when the Rangers' defense is fully healthy. When he's played, Jones has been put in a position to succeed with second-pairing minutes and a spot on the second power-play unit. He has eight points, 24 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, 14 hits and a plus-2 rating through 26 outings. He still needs to find another level on offense, but Jones could be given more minutes if the Rangers' December swoon persists much longer.

2022-23 NHL Top 200 Prospects : Midseason Update
February 15, 2023
Jon Litterine provides his mid-season update on the NHL's top 200 prospects.
2022 Fantasy Outlook
Jones should have spent most of his first full professional season in New York, but he ultimately played just 12 games with the Rangers and 52 games with their AHL affiliate in Hartford in 2021-22. He was brilliant (9 goals, 35 points) as a 21-year-old for the Wolf Pack. Jones is a legitimate power-play quarterback with terrific offensive ability. He struggles in his own zone at times and will never be the type to log significant defensive minutes, but he's clearly ready for a full-time gig at the NHL level, likely starting this coming campaign alongside Braden Schneider on the team's third defensive pair.
