Max Jones in heated battle for roster spotSeptember 21, 2019 | 12:43 AM

Max Jones has gotten off to a good start in training camp, but he's far from have a roster spot secured. Jones will get his chance though with five preseason games spread out over just eight days. while he's already found the back of the net in the preseason, what the Ducks care about most is a sustained showing. "He's going to have to beat out guys on that left wing side," Ducks coach Dallas Eakins said. "That's where there's a big battle. There's a lot of wingers. We've got guys with experience. We've got guys in his age category who are very good and there lies the biggest battle in camp. Who's going to rise up and at least get first shot coming out of training camp? And I go back to it, but just because you're here on Day 1 of the season doesn't mean that you last (with the Ducks). It's a fight every day to stay here." Jones had two goals and five points in 30 contests.
