— Minnesota Wild PR (@mnwildPR) May 6, 2021 Brought up to the taxi squad assumingly for some NHL practices on April 28, Jones, 20, is headed back down to the AHL to get some late-season game time. Iowa has just five games remaining in their regular season and because of the AHL cancelling their postseason, that will be it for the Wild’s minor affiliate.
