The Blackhawks will be without Seth Jones for four weeks after he suffered a right foot injury against the Kraken on Nov. 14.

And unfortunately, they were just dealt a difficult blow. Top defenseman and assistant captain Seth Jones will be absent for the foreseeable future after suffering a foot injury on November 14 at Climate Pledge Arena when the visiting Blackhawks took on the Seattle Kraken.

The 30-year-old Jones played in each of Chicago’s first 17 games, averaging more than 25 minutes of ice time per night. He has two goals and eight assists this season.

Jones will be placed on injured reserve with a right foot injury, coach Luke Richardson said Saturday, whereas Hall will be a healthy scratch in order to get more practice time.

CHICAGO -- Seth Jones will be out four weeks with a right foot injury the Chicago Blackhawks defenseman sustained against the Seattle Kraken on Nov. 14. “Unfortunate for us and him, he was rolling along pretty good,” Blackhawks coach Luke Richardson said Wednesday. “But that’s just the nature of the business.”

The Chicago Blackhawks will learn a lot about what they have in Alex Vlasic while Seth Jones is out of the lineup recovering from an injury.
