Right wing David Jones made his season debut on Monday afternoon against the Boston Bruins, and it’s safe to say that his teammates are glad he’s back in the lineup.

Jones, who suffered a chest injury on Sept. 23 in a preseason tilt against the Los Angeles Kings, scored a goal and added an assist in his first action of the regular season as Colorado downed Boston, 4-3.

Jones had a shot on goal during each of his first three shifts today, the last of which helped give Colorado a 2-0 advantage. With the Avs already up a goal, Jones drove into the Boston zone and unleashed a slap shot from just above the right circle. Boston netminder Tuukka Rask stopped the attempt, but Scott Hannan found himself all alone and knocked home the rebound.
