Oilers extend Caleb Jones with 2-year deal
The Edmonton Oilers have inked defenseman Caleb Jones to a two-year contract extension, the club announced on Wednesday.
His added years carry an average annual value of $850,000, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
Jones has split this season between the Oilers and their AHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors, collecting three points in 23 NHL games while averaging just over 13 minutes of ice time in a third-pairing role.
He's added 11 points over 14 contests with the Condors in 2019-20.
The 22-year-old made his NHL debut last season, appearing in 17 games with Edmonton during that campaign.
The Oilers' fourth-round pick in 2015 is the younger brother of Columbus Blue Jackets blue-liner Seth Jones. They're the sons of Indiana Pacers assistant coach and former NBA player "Popeye" Jones.
