Max Jones<\/a> is heading back to the minor leagues as the Edmonton Oilers<\/a> announced Thursday morning that he was loaned to the AHL\u2019s Bakersfield Condors.Jones, 27, was recalled by the Oilers<\/a> on December 11th, and the winger drew in for eight games, scoring a goal and an assist, while also getting into his first fight as a member of the Oilers in Wednesday\u2019s loss to the Boston Bruins.<\/p>\n

The Oilers fared well with Jones on the ice, breaking even in five-on-five goals with the opposition at two a piece, and with him on the ice, the Oilers controlled 60.8 percent of the expected goal share, 56.1 percent of the scoring chance share and 66.7 percent of the high-danger scoring chances.\u00a0In his 60 minutes of five-on-five ice-time, averaging 7:33 per game, he took 12 shots and laid 20 hits, both solid rates for a fourth-liner like Jones.<\/p>\n

Now, he\u2019ll return to the Condors with whom he\u2019s appeared in 17 games for this season, scoring five goals and seven points.<\/p>\n

Jones joined the Oilers in a trade last March with the Bruins alongside Trent Frederic. He appeared in 19 NHL games last season, scoring a goal and two points, and none in the playoffs. He\u2019s in the second year of a two-year contract paying him $1-million per year, and is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.<\/p>\n
