David Jones received a pretty nice raise Wednesday.

Jones, who made $837,500 last season, signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract to stay with the Avalanche.

“He was one of our top players from a year ago and is part of the young nucleus of this team,” Avs general manager Greg Sherman said in a statement.

Jones, 26, scored 27 goals in 77 games. It was his first mostly healthy season in the NHL. He is expected to remain a top-six forward with the Avs, probably at right wing.

The Avs have 15 players under contract and another five who received qualifying offers to retain their rights.

The status of left wing Tomas Fleischmann hasn’t changed. If the Avs don’t sign him by Friday, he will become an unrestricted free agent.

Fleischmann scored 21 points in 22 games for the Avs last season before being sidelined by pulmonary embolism.
