So when Jones joined the Avs and played well in his first couple of games, he had to feel pretty good about life in general.Trying to fit in with a new team and play well enough to stick around is hard enough, but the hockey gods gave Jones a little extra bit of adversity to deal with last week at an Avalanche practice … and he is currently sporting a rather robust black eye as a reminder.“Just a stick to the face,” Jones said. “It ended up doing a lot more damage than I thought it would.
