David Jones was one of the Avalanche's top performers in the preseason, but so far he hasn't been able to transform that success into regular-season play.

"But I've been working hard, and I think my biggest asset is my speed and I just need to keep skating," said Jones, one of a handful of players to take part in an optional practice Friday.

"The coaches don't necessarily look for me to put the puck in the net all the time, but I definitely have to bury my chances when they're there. I think they like the way I skate and finish my checks and get into the forecheck. I think that's the biggest part of my game, rather than scoring goals."
