    “The Jones brothers grew up in Colorado cheering on the Avalanche.

    Their hockey worlds came full circle Monday night at Ball Arena.

    Avs defenseman Caleb Jones and Blackhawks defenseman Seth Jones met in a game for the first time as NHL players. Both parents, including their father, [Nuggets assistant coach Popeye Jones](https://denvergazette.com/sports/colorado-avalanche/avalanche-nuggets-family-ties-popeye-and-caleb-jones-cherish-father-son-bond/article_c8bdfb20-80ec-11ee-b1f0-d7db54fd6e3e.html), were in the home crowd to witness a 5-0 Avalanche victory.

    “When he was in Edmonton, and I was in Columbus, it just never worked out. I was hurt, he was hurt, or someone was out of the lineup,” Seth said pregame. “Now, it’s pretty interesting that we’re going to play against each other. I’m super excited.”

    Caleb said after morning skate: “I saw him in Chicago (on Thursday) and saw him last night. It was good. Had a couple of dinners. He’s doing well. … It’s the first time I’ve ever played against him. It will be fun.”

    Advantage: Caleb.”

    Remember when there was a big debate over whether we would pick Nate or Seth Jones?

    How dumb that looks now. 🤣

    Jones (Avs) almost hit a goal with his brother on the ice. Got the point, but the puck went off Parise.

    Can you imagine the bragging rights on this? For all eternity it would be discussed at every thanksgiving with the family.
