Fantasy Analysis
No, this doesn't look to be a new emphasis on toughness for him; he has only 30 PIMs all season, and even that's a career high. Two of the penalties were for delay of game and holding, not exactly the tough-guy penalties we're accustomed to seeing from the game's true enforcers. (Updated 03/25/2012).
03/25/2012 01:08 Canucks clinch 4th straight division title
Chris Higgins had two goals, including the winner at 1:40 of overtime, and Vancouver rallied to beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 on Saturday night as the Canucks wrapped up their fourth straight Northwest Division crown.
03/14/2012 22:58 Avs tie with two ticks, top Sabres in SO
Jamie McGinn forced overtime by scoring with two seconds left in regulation, and Peter Mueller netted the lone shootout goal in the Colorado Avalanche's 5-4 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday.
Jones, who has been plagued by injuries over most of his short career thus far, finally managed to play close to a full slate of games last year, scoring a career-high 45 points (27G, 18A) in 77 games. As long as he stays healthy, Jones should resume his role as the Avs' second-line right winger this season. Big and rugged with a heavy shot and decent speed, Jones could be a 40-goal scorer someday if he develops some durability. He could be a late-round bargain in deeper fantasy leagues this season.
