Without Seth Jones for nine games, the Blackhawks looked to his brother, Caleb to step up in several ways. It was a tough stretch for both him and the team, but Seth is back, and Caleb now has room to grow again.
And while it may have been beneficial for the whole team to have taken Nov. 19 off against Boston, as they lost 6-1 against the NHL's best team, Jones needed one most of all. He had been filling in on the first power play unit while his brother Seth dealt with a thumb injury, and he picked up some extra minutes overall.
He got the opportunity, and the Blackhawks found out that maybe"top defenseman" wasn't a role he was supposed to play. But now the Hawks know not to put him there, and hopefully he's learned a few things about his own style of play. Caleb's also a good shooter. He's able to walk the blue line and get shots on net. Before Seth's injury, he was quarterbacking the second power play unit anyway, so moving up to the first line wasn't too much of a leap for him.
It's hardly fair to call any of it his fault, but he had a rough nine games.
