Not that I'm advocating bringing him back, but the Flames are awful on the dot without Blair Jones in the lineup. How bad?

Jones in: 50% (exactly)
Jones out: 41.1%

Does this have much of an impact? The season is still too short to tell, but the Flames record when winning less than 45% of faceoffs in a game is 3-6-1. Correlation is not causation and it's not even close to the main thing wrong with the team, but I still think it's worth mentioning as puck possession is important for a team built around skill.
