Video: Jones' Goal Named Avs' Play of Week

The following article and video featuring former Dartmouth standout David Jones appeared November 16 on the Colorado Avalance Web site.

David Jones' second short-handed goal of the season was named the Avalanche's "Play of the Week" for the Nov. 6-12 timeframe, garnering 63.76% of fan votes.

The forward's tally beat out Chris Stewart's shootout winner against Chicago (25.23%) and a Craig Anderson save on Kris Versteeg (11.01%).

The play now automatically qualifies for Colorado's year-end "Play of the Year" bracket-style tournament - to be determined by Avalanche fans.

Be sure to check back each Friday during the season, as three new choices for the Avalanche's "Play of the Week" will be posted for you to vote upon.
