A Houston Aeros Alumni Update, Ryan Jones Edition

Ryan Jones only played in four regular season games for the Houston Aeros last season, and he was traded to the Nashville Predators this off-season in the deal that netted the Minnesota Wild defenseman Marek Zidlicky. But I thought that those of you who remembered Jones' brief tenure with the team would like a little update on how things are going.

Jones was the hero for the Nashville Predators last night as he knocked in a rebound with 2:18 left in the game against the Los Angeles Kings, putting the Predators up 4-3. The win jumped the Predators past the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers for the seventh playoff spot in the West. The win was also the eighth in the last 11 games for the Predators.

And Ryan Jones, on the strength of the goal, was named the game's third star.

P.S.: And Joel Ward, who Ms. Conduct discussed last week, had a goal and an assist for the Predators in that game.

Two guys the Wild never should have let get out of the system.

Ryan Jones is one of the biggest reasons that the Admirals are where they are right now. He had a great attitude and was a great spark for this team while he was here. Part of me hopes that he'll be helpful in the Predators quest to get to the playoffs....part of me hoeps the Preds don't make it so he'll be back in Milwaukee for our playoffs...

Either way, we've got nothing but great things to say about the guy.

See you guys next Wednesday...
