WINNIPEG - His playoff resume is relatively thin, but 29-year-old defenceman Randy Jones plans on adding to it in Winnipeg.

One of the Jets free-agent signings on the weekend, the former Tampa Bay Lightning blue-liner says he sees no reason why the former Atlanta Thrashers can’t be in the Stanley Cup chase next spring.

“Last year for a good part of the season they were only a point or two behind us and Washington,” Jones said on a media conference call from his home in New Brunswick, Monday. “They work extremely hard, and that’s the main thing you need in this league, is hard work and determination. That’s one thing that stood out, they never give up, they always battled and were always in your face. We’re going to give a good push this season.”
