The Calgary Flames have acquired David Jones and Shane O'Brien in exchange for Alex Tanguay and Cory Sarich. "We like the fact that Jones plays a north-south game, drives hard to the net, kills penalties and is a right hand shot," Calgary GM Jay Feaster said. Jones received a four-year, $16 million contract from Colorado prior to the 2013 season. He produced just three goals and nine points in 33 games this past campaign after hitting the 20-goal mark in his previous two years.

The struggles experienced by winger David Jones this season make the remainder of his contract seem like an albatross for the Avalanche going forward. Jones signed a four-year, $16 million deal prior to the season and delivered all of three goals in 33 games while spending numerous games in the press box as a healthy scratch. While he was coming off two consecutive 20-goal campaigns entering the year he was a huge disappointment this season and becomes a buyout candidate over the summer.

David Jones will be a healthy scratch for a third straight game Friday. He has been relegated to the press box because coach Joe Sacco has not been pleased with his play. Jones has produced just nine points and has a minus-11 rating in 33 games this year.

David Jones was a healthy scratch Sunday. Just an FYI as Jones is having a poor season with three goals, nine points and a minus-11 rating in 33 games. He should not be in your lineup.

David Jones recorded an assist in Colorado's 3-2 shootout defeat Thursday. He has three goals and eight points in 30 games this season. The point ended Jones' 12 game pointless slump.

David Jones hopes to redeem his poor 2013 season with a good final 10 games. Hones has only three goals and seven points in 28 games after returning to action on Monday from a knee injury. "When Jonesie's playing well, he's a physical player," coach Joe Sacco said. "He needs to play like that all the time, and I think he got away from that. He's a guy who needs to unnerve the opposition. He needs to get in on the forecheck and use his size and speed - and then he gets chances with his good shot after that. He's always been a streaky player, but this year he never really caught fire. But he's got a chance to finish well, at least." He replaced Aaron Palushaj in the Avs lineup as Palushaj was a healthy scratch.

David Jones (knee) will play in Monday's contest. Jones has missed eight straight games because of the ailment. He has three goals and four assists in 27 contests in 2013.

David Jones was not in the lineup for the Avalanche for Saturday's 4-0 loss to Phoenix. The winger likely isn't far from returning as he made the trip to Arizona with his teammates Saturday before being declared unfit to play. Expect a return in the very near future.

David Jones (knee) will be a game time decision Monday. Jones has missed the last three games with the injury and is hoping to get back in, especially with Milan Hejduk out of the lineup. Jones was a healthy scratch just before getting injured so he has a lot to prove once back in the lineup. He has only three goals and seven points after back-to-back 20 goal seasons. He is also minus-11 this season so we cannot recommend him at this time.

David Jones (knee) missed Thursday's contest. Jones has now been out of three straight Avalanche contests, two due to a knee injury and one as a healthy scratch. He's considered day-to-day for now.
