Jones signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with Carolina on Thursday, according to PuckPedia.
Jones had four goals, 16 points, 40 PIM, 116 hits and 118 blocks in 73 contests with Chicago last season. He became an unrestricted free agent after the Blackhawks declined to extend him a qualifying offer. Jones should be in the mix to serve as the Hurricanes' seventh defenseman.

Rotowire
Jones won't be qualified by the Blackhawks and will become a free agent Saturday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.
Jones posted 16 points in 73 games with the Blackhawks last season and even featured on the power play, so this is a notable departure. The defenseman should garner some interest on the open market as a bottom-four option.

Blackhawks' Caleb Jones: Strikes on power play in loss
Rotowire
Jones scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Coyotes.
Jones put the Blackhawks ahead 2-1 in the third period. The defenseman has two goals and an assist over his last five contests, and he's up to 14 points, 70 shots on net, 101 hits, 95 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 60 appearances this season. He could have some mild fantasy appeal while playing in a top-four role with power-play time, though doing so for a bad team makes him a massive risk in plus-minus.

Rotowire
Jones logged an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.
Jones helped out on a Dylan Strome goal in the second period. With three points in his last three outings, Jones has started to get a bit more comfortable after missing the whole first month of the season due to a wrist injury. The American has nine shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating in 10 contests overall, though his offense will need to see a bit of an uptick to make him useful across fantasy formats.
