Jones has played 63 games so far this season. They have a playoff berth locked up and even going back a few games, were unlikely to catch LA anyways. This is good coaching move to get their starter some rest before a tough first round series. I don't see any controversy here. Jones has never played more than 15 games at the NHL level, he's past the burnout stage but I think its smart to rest him and then play him in the final game before the post season.
